Aim: About 30–40% of breast cancers lack steroid receptors (ER and/or PR) at diagnosis that worsen prognosis and limit the usage of hormone therapy. The aim of this paper has been to study the role of DNA-damaging factors as the potential modifiers of the receptor-negative tumors incidence. Material...
