To date there have been multiple comparisons of core biopsies and surgical resections for ER, PR, Ki67 for tumor grade and HER2 (Table 3) demonstrating a mean concordance of 92.4 % for ER (Fig. 6a), 84 % for PR (Fig. 6b) and 67.4 % for Ki67 (Fig. 6c), comparable to the data presented here. Here, ESR1 is linked to neoplasm.
