The present and future of gene profiling in breast cancer

Abstract: Gene signatures can provide prognostic and predictive information to help in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. Although many of these signatures have been described, only a few have been properly validated. MammaPrint and OncoType offer prognostic information and identify low-risk patients who do not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. With regard to prediction of response, molecular subtypes of breast cancer differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapy, although further studies are needed in this fie… Show more

“…The decision of whether to administer adjuvant chemotherapy to patients with breast cancer is based on the estimated risk of recurrence [5]. For this decision, oncologists may use algorithms based on clinical-pathological criteria.…”

“…For this decision, oncologists may use algorithms based on clinical-pathological criteria. Tumor recurrence can be predicted by various factors: lymph node involvement, tumor size, histology subtype and grade, vascular and lymphatic invasion, proliferation markers, hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression [4,5].…”
