Abstract
Breast tumors arise from preinvasive lesions consisting of abnormal epithelial cells that accumulate within the mammary duct. However, the initiating steps and underlying pathways leading to the formation of these early stages of breast carcinoma, such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is not fully understood.
