Microvessel quantity(MVQ), expression of CD44V6 and EGFR were studied in 48 patients with invasive breast carcinoma by CD31 immunohistochemistry. Significant differences of MVQ, CD44V6 and EGFR were observed (P < 0.01) between the groups with and without metastasis. The results suggest that angiogeneses and activation of tumor metastasis associated gene play an important role in tumor metastasis.
