The number of patients shows an increasing trend recently. Breast cancer is a big threaten to wom⁃ en’ s health and quality of life. With the development of molecular biology, molecular biomarkers have been found assiciated with prognosis in patients with breast cancer, which makes it possible to predict cancer patient survival precisely and practi⁃ cally. This review summarized those new developments of biomarkers on the prognosis of breast cancer.
