PGR and breast cancer: To gain further insight into whether ER-/PR+ breast cancer represents a true breast cancer disease subtype, we assessed the inter-assay reproducibility of ER/PR subtypes for cancers that underwent subtype classification by two methods (mRNA expression assessment by microarray vs. protein expression reported in the MR in the GEM dataset; and protein expression recorded in the MR vs. analyzed by IHC on TMAs in the NHS dataset).
