Expression and Genomic Profiling of Minute Breast Cancer Samples. Addendum

Authors: G. M. Makrigiorgos; DANA-FARBER CANCER INST BOSTON MA
Abstract:
Genetic and gene expression profiling based diagnosis promises to refine (1) and potentially revolutionize (2) the existing cancer staging system and the management of early disease. Microarray-based gene expression profiling and Array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array-CGH) offers global views of cancer genomes and transcriptomes by detecting amplification or deletion of cancer genes (3-10), whereas techniques like real time PCR (11) can be used for validation and quantification of the identified genomic changes.
