Zusammenfassung
Introduction: We focus on the expression analysis of non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) with regulatory functions in breast cancer (BC), especially on the intrinsic subgroup characterized as triple negative (TNBC). Objective of the interdisciplinary collaboration is the establishment of a distinct miRNA signature panel as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in TNBC management. Methods: Retrospective miRNA expression study was performed, consisting of 47 formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded and immunohistochemically re-classified TNBC. 23 TNBC were immunohistochemically identified as basal-like and 24 as TNBC only.
