Single Tumor Cells With Epithelial-Like Morphology Are Associated With Breast Cancer Metastasis

Conclusions: STCs with epithelial-like morphology contribute to breast cancer metastasis and represent an attractive model for studying mechanisms of metastatic seeding. The assessment of STCs in histological sections of breast tumors can be a simple and effective method for the prediction of metastasis risk.
