Summary

Automatically generated

Nucleic acid degradation in archival tissue, tumor heterogeneity, and a lack of fresh frozen tissue specimens can negatively impact cancer diagnostic services in pathology laboratories worldwide. This manuscript describes the optimization of a panel of biomarkers using a multiplex magnetic bead assay to classify breast cancers.
