Basal-like breast cancer is a molecular subtype of breast cancer with a poor prognosis. Follow-up studies of long-term outcome in these patients, demonstrates they can be separated into two clinical groups: those who succumb to their disease within the first 5 years and those expected to show excellent long term survival. Currently available clinical/histopathological variables as well as molecular signatures show little capacity to identify …
