High endothelial venules (HEVs) provide another portal for tumour metastasis. However, whether HEVs and other blood vessels exert different effects on tumour escape remains unknown. Here we show that tumour involvement in HEVs is an independent prognostic marker for patients with lymph node (LN)-positive female breast cancer. Tumour cells that spread via HEVs are less immunogenic and more capable of establishing distant metastases than those that spread through non-HEV blood vessels. Mechanistic ...[more]
