Breast Cancer: Gene Expression of Receptors on a Chip Can Enhance Precision Diagnosis
MedicalResearch.com Interview with:
Univ.- Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schreiner

Medical University of Vienna
General Hospital
WIEN / AUSTRIA
MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings?
Response: The choice of correct individualized therapy for breast cancer depends on correct diagnosis: receptors for estrogen, progesterone and HER2 are determined routinely. However 5-10% of these routine diagnostics are inaccurate and may entail suboptimal therapy.
We have paved the way for additional diagnostics from gene expression data so as to increase precision of diagnostics. (more…)
