PAM50 for prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ER-positive breast cancer.

GE-Luminal A intrinsically subtyped by PAM50 was the least sensitive to NAC and very unlikely to attain pCR. IHC-Luminal A identified by IHC, on the other hand, was not significantly predictive of pCR. In addition, PAM50 revealed that tumors with low ER (1-9%) were more like ER-negative tumors than ER-positive tumors, and most such cases should therefore would better be treated with chemotherapy.
