No clinically useful target molecule has been identified for triple-negative (TN) breast cancer, i.e., estrogen receptor (ER)-negative, progesterone receptor (PgR)-negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative phenotype, and its prognosis is poor. Triple-negative cancer consists of two subtypes: basal-like and non-basal-like. The aim of this study is to clarify the clinical and biological characteristics of these two subtypes of TN cancer.
