The overall 5-year survival rate for woman diagnosed with breast cancer has increased significantly over the last 20 years. However, prognosis for women with stage IV, metastatic disease remains very poor. Women diagnosed with stage 0-III breast cancer have above an 85% chance of survival over a 5-year period while women diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer have a 5-year survival of less than 30%. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving aggressive breast cancer is essential for the potential discovery of more targeted therapies to increase the survival rates for women diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer.
