The evolving research trends in cancer prognosis: the prospect of integrated clinical and gene expression profiles for breast cancer prognosis

Abstract

The malfunctioning of specific genes drives most likely the development and progression of neoplastic disease. Indeed, recent studies using microarray analysis have provide evidence that breast cancer prognosis can be predicted according to their gene expression profiling. These works represent a considerable advance in the clinical application of microarray technology. The fascinating of this technology is that its ability to simultaneously interrogate thousands of genes to provide an essential understanding of molecular proliferations. It also that managed to change the paradigm of molecular classification of human cancers to broader prospects.
