Re: I-SPY 2 trial qualifies neratinib for HER2-positive breast cancer

I looked up MP plus breast cancer. I think MP stands for matrix producing. Im not a pathologist (Im a pharmacist) so I didn't fully understand the MP thing but basically it seems tat breast cancer cells can transform into connective tissues like cells.

Anyway the Matrix forming breast cancers are more aggressive than normal and it seems Matrix producing breast cancers are very often triple negative.

Hope this helps a bit.A pathologist can explain it better
