Triple Negative Breast Cancer accounts for 15% of all breast cancers, and occurs most often in African-American and younger women. It refers to cancer that is negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth receptor-2. A study published in Breast Cancer Research maintains that Triple Negative Breast Cancer is more likely to generate brain mestastases. Survival after the brain mestastases were found was also reduced in the triple negative group. Women with the BRCA1 gene mutation that predisposes them to breast cancer are more likely to develop Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Fast Facts:
- Retrospective study
- 805 women
- Followed from August 2001 through October 2006
