title: [Transplantation of human primary in-situ and invasive breast carcinoma in nude mice].
abstract: In order to establish nude mice model of early and advanced breast cancers, 15 in-situ breast carcinomas and 31 invasive breast carcinomoas were transplanted in 155 nude mice subcutaneously. A slow-release pellet of 17-beta estradiol was also implanted subcutaneously. During ten months of observation, the in-situ breast cancer tissue eventually did not grow. Light microscopy showed that the implants kept the structure of in-situ carcinoma without invasion. Of 31 invasive carcinomas, only one diagnosed pathologically as multifocal dedifferentiated ductal carcinoma grew well and was serially passaged. It was estrogen- and progesterone-receptor negative, p53 protein negative and c-erbB-2 protein positive. Its DNA ploidy was near tetraploidy.
