Systematic Validation Of Breast Cancer Biomarkers Using Tissue Microarrays: From Construction To Image Analysis
METHODS OF CANCER DIAGNOSIS, THERAPY AND PROGNOSIS, VOL 1: BREAST CARCINOMA(2008)
摘要
Fundamental changes are occurring in our approach to breast cancer research, including diagnosis and treatment. Omic-based
discovery approaches, such as DNA-microarray gene expression profiling, are in part responsible for this shift (Brennan et al., 2005; McGee et al., 2006). These high-throughput technologies represent powerful tools capable of identifying breast cancer biomarkers. Promising
biomarkers can then be studied using tissue microarrays (TMAs) that allow for omic-scale pathological screening and validation
(Hoos and Cordon-Cardo, 2001). It is hoped that the incorporation of the tools and techniques of molecular biology into the
routine management of breast cancer patients will result in: (1) better disease classification, (2) identification of patients
who will derive most benefit from treatment, and (3) assist in the discovery of less toxic, targeted treatments. Such objectives
should bring us closer to the ultimate goal of personalized management of cancer.
