Gene expression profiling allows us to look into a tumor cell to see how genetic information is communicated and affects cell behavior. Data gathered during the development of the 70-gene assay (MammaPrint) set the stage for future assay development. Recently, a 21-gene assay (Oncotype DX) was recommended by ASCO and NCCN as a standard of care for newly diagnosed, stage 1 or 2, node-negative, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer patients.
基因表达谱分析使我们能够深入肿瘤细胞,了解遗传信息是如何传递并影响细胞行为的。在70基因检测法(MammaPrint)研发过程中收集的数据为未来检测法的发展奠定了基础。最近,美国临床肿瘤学会(ASCO)和美国国立综合癌症网络(NCCN)推荐一种21基因检测法(Oncotype DX),作为新诊断的、1期或2期、淋巴结阴性、雌激素受体阳性乳腺癌患者的护理标准。
