The 2000 study that read the activity of 8,102 genes in 65 breast tumours and found the tumours fell into distinct groups, one of them the basal-like group that most triple-negative cancers belong to.
Perou, Sørlie, Eisen, van de Rijn and colleagues characterised gene expression in 65 surgical specimens from 42 individuals using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes. Each tumour had a distinctive molecular portrait; 20 tumours sampled before and after 16 weeks of doxorubicin, and two paired with a lymph node metastasis, showed that two samples from the same person were almost always more alike than either was to any other tumour. Sets of co-expressed genes tracked specific features of the tumours, and the tumours could be classified into subtypes distinguished by pervasive differences in expression.
The origin of the intrinsic subtypes and of the word basal-like; triple-negative breast cancer is the clinical shadow of this molecular group, though the two overlap imperfectly.
