✦ Synopsis

One of the aims of gene expression profiling is to identify early breast cancer patients with a good prognosis who can avoid adjuvant chemotherapy. 1 In our Institute, we obtained a 70-gene signature (Mamma Print) 2 on 21 early breast cancer patients. All patients gave written informed consent approved by the Ethic Committee.
