The PAM50 classifier is used to assign patients to the highest correlated breast cancer subtype irrespectively of the obtained value. Nonetheless, all subtype correlations are required to build the risk of recurrence (ROR) score, currently used in therapeutic decisions. Present subtype uncertainty estimations are not accurate, seldom considered or require a population-based approach for this context.
