Abstract

‘Triple negative’ breast cancer (TNBC; oestrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and HER2 receptor negative) is an aggressive form of breast cancer (BC) with a poor prognosis. TNBC patients cannot benefit from treatment based on ER, PR, and HER2 status. Therefore, other markers are sought. TOP2A gene amplification is considered an anthracycline treatment response predictor and TOP2A aberrations (amplifications, deletions) are found in HER2 amplified BC. Recently, TOP2A amplification has also been described in HER2 non-amplified BC.
