Figure 4
A statistical plot of the distribution of the four structural types relative to the distance of the individual samples from the carcinoma. The graph shows that a foetal structure was obtained for 100% of the samples which contained cancerous material and for 90% of the samples immediately adjacent to these as you move along the duct away from the tumour. Foetal-like tissue was found in the tissue taken further away from the cancer. Very few samples contained rings from both the foetal and foetal-like patterns. Changes were seen in some samples assessed to be normal by histopathology indicating that this method may detect changes not visible in histopathology.
