Extract

There have been considerable interests in the relationship between tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. In human breast carcinomas, it has been reported that angiogenesis is an independent prognostic factor and that proliferating factors are closely related with lymph node status. Therefore, the demonstration of proliferating and angiogenetic factors as well as the tumor blood vessels in human breast carcinoma simultaneously is important for clinical evaluation of breast cancer patients.

CLSM has been an exciting new apparatus because of it's more powerful resolution than conventional light microscopy and the high-performance on 3D optical sectioning. Images taken with CLSM can be digitized and made variable for image analysis manipulation and computer-assisted 3D reconstructions.

In the present study, we employed immunohistochemical comparative 3D visualization of proliferating and angiogenstic factors with microvessels in human breast carcinomas by CLSM.

The tissues from the surgically resected breast carcinoma were fixed in cold 4 % paraformaldehyde(PFA) and routinely processed in paraffin wax.
