Breast tumors molecular classification

Sorlie T. Molecular classification of breast tumors Toward improved diagnostics and treatments. Methods Mol Biol. 2007 360 91-114. 

The classification of human tumors using DNA microarray technology has been an area of intense research in the last decade. For example, many studies have consistently shown that breast cancer can be molecularly classified into at least four subtypes the basal-like subtype, the ERBB2-like subtype, and luminal-like subtypes A and B. Importantly, the newly defined molecular subgroups have distinct clinical outcomes and responses to therapy [48],...
