Gene expression profiling for the prediction of therapeutic response to docetaxel in patients with breast cancer

Reads0

TLDR
It is postulated that gene expression profiles of the primary breast cancer can predict the response to docetaxel, and these molecular profiles could allow development of a clinical test for docetAXel sensitivity, thus reducing unnecessary treatment for women with breast cancer.

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

TL;DR: 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.

Gene Expression and Benefit of Chemotherapy in Women With Node-Negative, Estrogen Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The RS assay not only quantifies the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence in women with node-negative, estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, but also predicts the magnitude of chemotherapy benefit.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers in cancer staging, prognosis and treatment selection.

TL;DR: Advances in genomics, proteomics and molecular pathology have generated many candidate biomarkers with potential clinical value, but how and when they can be integrated into clinical care is crucial.

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

Quantitative monitoring of gene expression patterns with a complementary DNA microarray.

TL;DR: A high-capacity system was developed to monitor the expression of many genes in parallel by means of simultaneous, two-color fluorescence hybridization, which enabled detection of rare transcripts in probe mixtures derived from 2 micrograms of total cellular messenger RNA.
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.
