TNBC is best defined by what it does not have than what it has, Leon Ferre says. Ongoing research is looking at better classification schemes for patients with TNBC. In a study on the characteristics, outcomes, and prognostic factors of TNBC, Leon Ferre and his colleagues focused on the LAR subtype—–a subtype that is enriched for non-estrogen hormone signals. Some have posited that this subtype behaves differently than most TNBCs.
