Abstract:
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is one of the blood supply patterns in malignant tumor,and the molecular mechanism of breast malignant tumor VM is complicated.The plasticity of tumor cells and variety of molecules regulation play important roles in the mechanism of VM.At the same time,the hypoxic microenvironment and microRNA (miRNA) are associated with the occurrence and development of VM,especially in breast malignant tumor,and they are expected to become important diagnostic and prognostic indicators in breast cancer.
