Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women worldwide. Although there have been great improvements in treating the disease and at present between 80 and 90% of the women survive ≥5-years after their primary diagnosis. However, due to the high incidence of the disease >450,000 women succumb to breast cancer annually worldwide. The majority of improvements in breast cancer survival may be explained through better knowledge of the development and progression of the disease. Consequently, the treatments employed have become more effective. Furthermore, continuous efforts are being made for the identification of novel and efficient biomarkers for the timely prognosis of breast cancer. The present review aims to examine recent perspectives of breast cancer prognosis and the predictive factors involved.
