JP:Q:Further classifications? A:AR+ is a predom subtype, 'tremendous progress in 2-3y among many groups' to be definitive #AACR15

JP: Want to diversify genomic information; a health disparity issue (both genetic and lifestyle determinants). Credits Komen, SPORE #AACR15
7:44am April 19th 2015 via Hootsuite
JP: Clearly TNBC has distinct subtypes; there is differential sens.; challenging to sort out, +'ive endpoints not a sure thing #AACR15

JP: (I'm really enjoying this 7am session on TNBC, Jennifer Pietenpol of Vanderbilt is a great #scicomm presenter.) #AACR15
7:37am April 19th 2015 via Hootsuite
JP: But only 10% of TNBC are AR+; it will take a while to determine more subtypes. '12 Nature ref http://t.co/sc2TaW9i3n more clues #AACR15

JP: Back to the trial: had smpls & progress on 133. Overall: 43% had complete response at time of surgery, had NED. 2 arms - caveats #AA
7:18am April 19th 2015 via Hootsuite
JP: Had a training set & validation set, expression profile heatmaps clear. Described details of classes: heterogeneity was extreme #AAC
