Molecular cytogenetic identification of subgroups of grade III invasive ductal breast carcinomas with different clinical outcomes.

Abstract excerpt

Tumor grade is an established indicator of breast cancer outcome, although considerable heterogeneity exists even within-grade. Around 25% of grade III invasive ductal breast carcinomas are associated with a "basal" phenotype, and these tumors are reported to be a distinct subgroup.
