Protein expression profiling identifies disease subclasses, predicts prognosis
April 7th, 2005
According to a study published recently in the journal Cancer Research, "Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease whose evolution is difficult to predict by using classic histoclinical prognostic factors. "Prognostic classification can benefit from molecular analyses such as large-scale expression profiling." J. Jacquemier and colleagues, of France's INSERM UMR599 in Marseilles, reported, "Using immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays, we have monitored the expression of 26 selected proteins in-more than 1,600 cancer samples from 552 consecutive patients with early breast cancer. Both an unsupervised approach and a new supervised method...
