Different gene-expression predictors of breast cancer agree, UNC study shows

---

Omschrijving
Breast cancer researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified a number of activity patterns in the genes of individual tumors that make them biologically different from others. These findings could provide valuable clinical information such as how likely the tumors are to be invasive, how well they might respond to different treatments and how likely they are to recur or spread. Currently, doctors treating patients with breast cancer make treatment decisions and predictions based largely on the location and size of the tumor and if the cancer has spread, or metastasized, to lymph nodes and distant sites of the body. But not all patients who are similar in terms of these clinical indicators get the same benefits from treatment. These new findings could remedy that situation. Such differences in gene activity may be used as biomarkers to identify which treatments can be individually matched.
