Elevated preoperative serum levels of collagen I carboxyterminal telopeptide predict better outcome in early-stage luminal-B-like (HER2-negative) and triple-negative subtypes of breast cancer

Type 1 collagen is an important part of the extracellular matrix and changes in its metabolism and distribution are essential in breast cancer induction and progression. Serum concentrations of type 1 collagen synthesis (aminoterminal propeptide (PINP)) and degradation markers (carboxyterminal telop...
