Salivary duct carcinomas can be classified into luminal androgen receptor-positive, HER2 and basal-like phenotypes*

Abstract

The aim of this study was to devise a molecular classification for salivary duct carcinomas (SDCs) based on the similarities between SDCs and breast carcinomas and on characteristics of the microarray-based gene expression profiling-defined molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
