The present invention relates to a method for prognosing cancer in a subject with triple negative (TN) breast cancer, whose tumors lack expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), the progesterone receptor (PR) and normal (not amplified) levels of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Methods and biomarkers are disclosed that are useful for predicting the overall survival (OS) potential of cancer in a subject with triple negative breast cancer or for predicting metastatic disease in a subject with triple negative breast cancer.
