Characterization of molecular scores and gene expression signatures in primary breast cancer, local recurrences and brain metastases

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Despite extensive studies in all areas of basic, clinical and applied research, accurate prognosis remains elusive, thus leading to overtreatment of many patients. Diagnosis could be improved by introducing multigene molecular scores in standard clinical practice. Several tests that work with formalin-fixed tissue have become...
