title: [Thrombospondins, tumor angiogenesis and breast cancer].
abstract: Thrombospondin-1 and -2 are extracellular matrix proteins that are overexpressed in breast cancer tissue. Their role in breast cancer remains unknown. This article reviews the potential effects of thrombospondin-1 and -2 in breast cancer tumori genesis and metastatic dissemination.
