J Carcinog Mutagen. 2014 Dec;5(6):199. doi: 10.4172/2157-2518.1000199.

Abstract

Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes are studied for their potential as new clinically useful prognostic and predictive biomarkers in patients with triple negative and HER-2/neu amplified breast cancer. This area of research could also help guide the development of novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases.
