In the spectrum of breast cancers, categorization according to the four gene expression-based subtypes ‘Luminal A,’ ‘Luminal B,’ ‘HER2-enriched,’ and ‘Basal-like’ is the method of choice for prognostic and predictive value. As gene expression assays are not yet universally available, routine immunohistochemical stains act as surrogate markers for these subtypes. Thus, congruence of surrogate markers and gene expression tests is of utmost importance. In this study, 3 cohorts of primary breast cancer specimens (total n = 436) with up to…
