Prognostic Factors and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Abstract

Objective: Triple-negative-breast-cancer (TNBC) is a very heterogenous disease some of which are very aggressive and have poor prognosis. No targeted therapy is available. Immune response and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can be related to longer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in TNBC. Family history of cancer can be related poor prognosis, irrespective of genetic mutation.
