In 2012, the estimated age-adjusted annual incidence of breast cancer in 40 European countries was 94.2 per 100,000 and the mortality 23.1 per 100,000. About 15% of breast cancers have amplification of the HER2 gene and these cancers have an intrinsically worse prognosis than other cancers [1]. Breast cancer is highly heterogeneous, and PD-1/PD-L1 expression may vary among different molecular subtypes [2].
