Clinical utility of gene signatures in breast cancer patients
Nick Tobin, Arian Lundberg and colleagues have shown the broad clinical utility of the Recurrence Score and PAM50 breast cancer gene signatures in two papers published simultaneously in Clinical Cancer Research.
In paper 1, a collaboration with Dr. Thomas Hatschek and Prof. Jonas Bergh, Tobin et al. demonstrate the PAM50 gene expression signature can provide prognostic information when applied to the lymph node metastases of advanced breast cancer patients.
In paper 2, Lundberg and Tobin et al. demonstrate that the Recurrence Score and PAM50 signatures provide more prognostic information than clinically routine immunohistochemical markers in breast cancer patients.
