The prognostic contribution of clinical breast cancer subtype, age, and race among patients with breast cancer brain metastases
Year: 2020

Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Brain metastases (BM) arising from Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) portend poor prognosis. TNBC is more common in premenopausal and African-American (AA) patients; both also confer poor prognosis. In a single institution cohort study, we sought to determine if inferior outcome of TN BCBM is more reflective of a higher-risk population or subtype itself.
