The main objective of this project will be to better understand the behavior of the endothelium in a population of breast cancer where the infiltrate in immune cells is precisely likely to play a leading role. This retrospective cohort of 250 to 300 cases treated with adjuvant and neoadjuvant will be immunologically characterized using the recommendations of Salgado et al., that a multicentric team of pathologists will take ownership. This evaluation will be counter-appraised.
Once our cohort is immunologically characterized, our project will focus on better understanding the endothelial mechanisms involved: which cells? immunophenotyping of immunity cells. By which vessels? (measurement of densities in blood and lymphatic vessels, density in HEV). By what mechanisms? Do the actors identified in vitro within the Inca project have an in vivo translation
