PCAPAM50: Enhanced 'PAM50' Subtyping of Breast Cancer

Accurate classification of breast cancer tumors based on gene expression data is not a trivial task, and it lacks standard practices.The 'PAM50' classifier, which uses 50 gene centroid correlation distances to classify tumors, faces challenges with balancing estrogen receptor (ER) status and gene centering. The 'PCAPAM50' package leverages principal component analysis and iterative 'PAM50' calls to create a gene expression-based ER-balanced subset for gene centering, avoiding the use of protein expression-based ER data resulting into an enhanced Breast Cancer subtyping.
