CCR7-expressing stromal cells infiltrate metastatic lymph nodes. Panels A & B: CCR7+ myofibroblasts in axillary lymph nodes (LN) of node positive tumors (panel A) and CCR7+ myofibroblasts in an invaded lymph node with capsular invasion (panel B). Panel C: Number of patients with CCR7+stromal cells among patients with positive lymph nodes (for tumor invasion) according to the presence of CCR7+ stromal cells in the primary tumor, p = 0.001 (Fisher' test).
