Abstract

Methods

466 invasive breast carcinomas and eight breast cancer cell lines were analysed for the expression of CD44, CD24 and ALDH1, to evaluate their distribution among the distinct molecular subtypes.

Results

Basal-like tumours (76.5%) contained the higher percentage of cells with the CSC phenotype CD44(+)CD24(-/low) (p
