Gene-expression profiles to predict distant metastasis of lymph-node-negative primary breast cancer.

TLDR
The ability to identify patients who have a favourable prognosis could, after independent confirmation, allow clinicians to avoid adjuvant systemic therapy or to choose less aggressive therapeutic options.

Identification of human triple-negative breast cancer subtypes and preclinical models for selection of targeted therapies

TL;DR: Gen expression profiles from 21 breast cancer data sets and identified 587 TNBC cases may be useful in biomarker selection, drug discovery, and clinical trial design that will enable alignment of TNBC patients to appropriate targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

An online survival analysis tool to rapidly assess the effect of 22,277 genes on breast cancer prognosis using microarray data of 1,809 patients.

TL;DR: An online tool to draw survival plots, which can be used to assess the relevance of the expression levels of various genes on the clinical outcome both in untreated and treated breast cancer patients, and which validated the capability of microarrays to determine estrogen receptor status in 1,231 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

An embryonic stem cell–like gene expression signature in poorly differentiated aggressive human tumors

TL;DR: The results reveal a previously unknown link between genes associated with ES cell identity and the histopathological traits of tumors and support the possibility that these genes contribute to stem cell–like phenotypes shown by many tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast cancer metastasis: markers and models

TL;DR: New molecular technologies, such as DNA microarrays, support the idea that metastatic capacity might be an inherent feature of breast tumours and have important implications for prognosis predicition and the understanding of metastasis.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular portraits of human breast tumours

TL;DR: Variation in gene expression patterns in a set of 65 surgical specimens of human breast tumours from 42 different individuals were characterized using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes, providing a distinctive molecular portrait of each tumour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression patterns of breast carcinomas distinguish tumor subclasses with clinical implications

TL;DR: Survival analyses on a subcohort of patients with locally advanced breast cancer uniformly treated in a prospective study showed significantly different outcomes for the patients belonging to the various groups, including a poor prognosis for the basal-like subtype and a significant difference in outcome for the two estrogen receptor-positive groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiling predicts clinical outcome of breast cancer

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.
