Intra-tumor heterogeneity in breast cancer has limited impact on transcriptomic-based molecular profiling

Abstract Background Transcriptomic profiling of breast tumors provides opportunity for subtyping and molecular-based patient stratification. In diagnostic applications the specimen profiled should be representative of the expression profile of the whole tumor and ideally capture properties of the mo...
