From: Treatment options for patients with triple-negative breast cancer
Schematic diagram the represents the significant overlap that exists between triple-negative (TNBC), basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) and breast cancer that arises in patients who have a BRCA mutation. While the majority of cancers that are TNBC are also BLBC. Non-basal triple-negative breast cancer also exists. Similarly most breast cancers that occur in women with BRCA mutations are TNBC and of the BLBC subtype, however this overlap is not complete.
