Quantum dots-based molecular classification of breast cancer by quantitative spectroanalysis of hormone receptors and HER2

► Hormone receptors and HER2 play an important role in breast cancer classification. ► Quantitative molecular information might be helpful for accurate classification. ► Quantum dots-based techinque allows for molecular quantitative determination. ► Three quantitative molecules information identify 5 distinct molecular subtypes. ► These 5 molecular subtypes might help formulate a more personalized medicine.
