Description | Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a heterogeneous group of breast cancers that do not express ER-alfa, PgR and Her-2 receptors. Generally, these tumors are aggressive and more common in younger women, in which an association of TNBC with mutations in the BRCA1 gene was documented. The aim of our study was to create a representative group of patients with TNBC, which could be analyzed and the data gathered to build basic epidemiological, molecular and clinical characteristics of Czech patients with TNBC. |
