Novel subgroups of breast cancer

Researchers at the Cambridge Research Instiute and BC Cancer Agency have studied the DNA and RNA of nearly 2000 breast tumours, resulting in the identification of 10 unique subtypes of breast cancer. Each subgroup is correlated with a variation in survival outcome. The researchers thus believe that this information "could be used to better predict the outcomes of the diseases, as well as offer tailored treatment to patients."
