Based on 2010 estimates from the Canadian Cancer Society, about 1 in 9 Canadian women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime and 1 in 30 will die from it. Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBC) represent 15-20% of all diagnosed breast cancers and show poor prognosis. A huge improvement is possible concerning this area of research and will directly impact a large number of patients.
