How many etiological subtypes of breast cancer: two, three, four, or more?

Journal of the National Cancer Institute - 1 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, divisible into a variable number of clinical subtypes. A fundamental question is how many etiological classes underlie the clinical spectrum of breast cancer? An etiological subtype reflects a grouping with a common set of causes, whereas a clinical subtype represents a grouping with similar prognosis and/or prediction. Herein, we review the evidence for breast cancer...
