Kingston, B; Cutts, RJ; Bye, H; Beaney, M; Walsh-Crestani, G; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-23)The genomics of advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been described through tumour tissue biopsy sequencing, although these approaches are limited by geographical and temporal heterogeneity. Here we use plasma circulating ... -
Heterogeneity in global gene expression profiles between biopsy specimens taken peri-surgically from primary ER-positive breast carcinomas.
López-Knowles, E; Gao, Q; Cheang, MCU; Morden, J; Parker, J; et al. (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-04-01)BACKGROUND: Gene expression is widely used for the characterisation of breast cancers.
