Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board at Lund University, Lund Sweden (LU 240–01), and carried out in accordance with the code of ethics of the World Medical Association.Since the study handles archival paraffin material, often several decades old, informed consent was not possible to retrieve from all patients. However, all data was analyzed and presented anonymously. In addition a note was published in the local paper, informing all previous breast cancer patients about the possibility to contact the research group if they did not want their tumor tissue to be used in scientific studies. This procedure was accepted by the Regional Ethical Review Board.
