  • NANOMECHANICAL PROFILING OF BREAST CANCER MOLECULAR SUBTYPES
    Publication number: 20230358724
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for classifying a tissue sample obtained from mammary carcinoma. The method comprises determining a stiffness value for each of a plurality of points on said tissue sample, resulting in a stiffness distribution, and assigning said sample to a breast cancer subtype and nodal status based on said stiffness distribution.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 26, 2023
