The spectrum of triple-negative breast disease: high- and low-grade lesions (2018)
Journal Article

Triple-negative breast cancer is viewed clinically as an aggressive subgroup of breast cancer. In fact, most triple-negative breast cancers are poor-prognosis tumors with a complex genomic landscape. However, triple-negative disease is vastly heterog... Read More about The spectrum of triple-negative breast disease: high- and low-grade lesions.
