Analysis of the Contribution of Stem Cells to Breast Cancer Using Microchimerism-Based Y-Chromosome Stains and Histopathology

Abstract

Approximately 15% of mothers to male babies carry in the tissues, Y-chromosome born in cells, believed to come from their baby's stem cell pool. This phenomena was used for tracking incorporation of stem cells from the circulation into breast cancers. The study is not finalized at this stage.
