Abstract:Breast cancer is regarded as a heterogenous disease classified into different molecular subtypes, resulting in different biologic behavior and sensitivity to treatment respectively. Molecular biology typing that based gene expression profiles and biological characteristics of breast cancer can reflect the biological behavior of tumors exactly, which has important clinical significance.
