Oncologic Trogocytosis of an Original Stromal Cells Induces Chemoresistance of Ovarian Tumours (original) (raw)
Figure 8
Clinical relevance of the presence of Hospicells among ovarian cancer tumors.
Tissue Micro-arrays were prepared from tumors originating from 29 patients who underwent a neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. A. Different densities of Hospicells as represented by CD10 staining. Morphological controls were used to rule out the staining of endothelial cells. B. Samples from chemoresistant patients had significantly higher density of Hospicells compared to chemosensitive patients (* p<0.05). Three different spots were used to characterize the Hospicells' density for each patient.
