Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In the prospective part of the study will be evaluated the expression of some selenoproteins by ELISA in plasma samples obtained from up to 100 healthy subjects and about 300 (\~100 per year) patients with basally metastatic TNBC breast cancer (150) and metastatic (150) before any treatment.
