A new test that identifies seven distinct types of breast cancer offers new hope to women with the disease, scientists claim. The tumour sample test could be available within two years and is expected to lead to more personalised treatments.
A new breast cancer test identifies seven classes of the disease, defined by different combinations and levels of 10 proteins found in breast cancer cells.
Each cancer type has a different effect on patient survival, according to the scientists whose findings are reported in the British Journal of Cancer.
The technology needed to measure the proteins in tumour samples already exists in most pathology laboratories across the UK, lead researcher Dr Andy Green, from the University of Nottingham, said.
