PGR and triple-negative breast carcinoma: Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), as defined on the basis of immunohistochemistry and for typically being negative for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2, represent approximately 20% of all breast tumors and have a considerable clinical relevance as they primarily affect young women, appear resistant to conventional chemotherapy regimens, have a particularly poor prognosis and a significantly worse clinical outcome than other tumor types [2].
