Microarray studies aim at identifying homogeneous subtypes of cancer patients, searching
for differentially expressed genes in tumours with different characteristics, or predicting the
prognosis of patients. Using breast cancer as an example, we discuss the hypotheses
underlying these studies, their power, and the validity and the clinical usefulness of the
findings.
