Review[Prognostic classification of breast cancer and gene expression profiling].
Clinical and pathological heterogeneity of breast cancer, partly responsible of therapeutic failures, reflects complex and combinatory molecular alterations until now poorly documented by classical investigation tools. Thorough molecular typing is crucial. ⋯ In this review, we present the main results and their potential clinical applications. We also discuss their current limits and future hopes in the therapeutic management of patients.
