Authors: Per Eystein Lønning, Ranjan Chrisanthar, Vidar Staalesen, Stian Knappskog, Johan Lillehaug

Published in: Breast Cancer Research | Special Issue 2/2007

Excerpt

Although gene expression microarrays provide novel tools and hold great promise in cancer research, achievements thus far in terms of improved prognostication and, in particular, prediction of drug sensitivity have been moderate. To improve clinical therapy, we believe that it is imperative to integrate gene expression arrays with other laboratory methods based on functional concepts [1, 2]. …
