The Association amongst ‘Triple Negative’ Breast Cancers, Lymph Node Metastasis, Disease Free and Overall Survival
Journal Title: Journal of Cancer Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Triple negative’ breast cancer (TNBC) has fewer specific targets for systemic therapy. We hypothesized that patients with TNBC have an increased incidence of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases and decreased disease-specific and overall survival.
