Breast cancers can be identified by specific molecular subtypes based on gene expression within the cancer cells. The most common genes investigated for molecular subtyping of breast cancer are the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), which are together classified as hormone receptor (HR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2), a protein that helps breast cancers grow. There are four major subtypes HR+/Her2- , HR-/HER2- (also known as triple negative breast cancer), HR+/HER2+, and HR-/HER2+.
Human solid tumors, like breast cancers, represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that is best demonstrated through many differences in clinical outcomes within homogenously treated patie...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...

Tumors are often categorized into standard molecular subtypes. However, largescale studies have demonstrated that patient heterogeneity in the regulatory make-up of tumors remain. At the tran...

Although the incidence of breast cancer is steadily increasing, mortality rates are decreasing. This means that the majority of women with breast cancer now survive, making it even more impor...
Cancer metastases develop when tumor cells known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed from a tumor, circulate through the blood stream and colonize a distant tissue. The number of CTCs...
