1800 breast array

Le résumé fourni par la source

This database was established to allow us to investigate biomarkers in breast cancer. Safehaven number: GSH/18/ON008 850 patients were retrospectively identified from Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Western Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital between 1995 and 1998 and had formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks of the primary tumour available for evaluation. Clinicopathological data including age, tumour size, tumour grade, lymph node status, type of surgery and use of adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy, hormonal based therapy and/ or radiotherapy) were retrieved from the routine reports. Tumour grade was assigned according to the Nottingham Grading System. ER, PR and HER2 status were assessed on tissue microarrays. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the West Glasgow University Hospitals NHS Trust.
