About this trial
The NAPOLI Study is a retrospective multicenter observational study designed to characterize negative hormone receptor and apocrine lobular invasive breast cancer. The study will collect real-world clinicopathological, molecular, therapeutic and outcome data from patients diagnosed and treated at participating centers. The aim is to describe the clinical behavior, pathological features, receptor profile, treatments received and oncologic outcomes of this rare breast cancer subtype.
