ABSTRACT

0.05). Women with triple negative breast cancer experienced more lymph node metastases (71.9%︰58.5%,P=0.034),with the higher percentage of more than 10 lymph nodes metastases(26.0%)as compared with Her-2-overexpressing breast cancer (12.2%,P=0.034). A higher percentage of histological grade 3 was identified in triple-negative (67.7%)than in Her-2-overexpressing breast cancer(42.1%,P0.05). However,significantly poorer 5-year DFS was seen in patients with triple negative phenotype (61.85 months)than with Her-2-overexpressing phenotype (78.69 months,P=0.047). Conclusion Triple-negative breast cancers were more aggressive,and these women had poorer DFS comparing with Her-2-overexpressing ones.
