Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women, with a poor prognosis. The programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway has emerged as a potential immunotherapy target. This study aimed to assess PD-L1 expression in TNBC patients and its relationship with prognostic variables.

Claudin is an epithelial tight junctional protein, and also it is a receptor for clostridium perfringens enterotoxin and shows impairment of expression in several cancers. The chief purpose of this study is to assess the claudin-4 expression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) Iranian patients and evaluate its correlation with some clinicopathological factors.

The main aim of the present study was to assess the AR expression in TNBC Iranian patients and evaluate its correlation with their clinicopathological parameters.
Methods: Herein, 76 TNBC patients were evaluated for the AR expression by immunohistochemistry.
