Current treatment paradigms for triple-negative breast

Minerva medica · Oct 2024

Review

Current treatment paradigms for triple-negative breast cancer.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15% of all breast cancers and is characterized by more aggressive biology, significant disease heterogeneity, and worse clinical outcomes. In recent years, improved understanding of TNBC tumor biology and its heterogeneity have led to the identification of new molecular targets, opening avenues for novel treatment strategies. Clinical trials evaluating immunotherapy, poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, and antibody drug conjugates have shown improvement in clinical outcomes, leading to their incorporation to the treatment options available for patients with TNBC. This review aimed to provide the internal medicine specialist and primary care provider with a comprehensive overview of the current systemic therapy approaches for TNBC and introduce clinicians to novel therapies that have recently been added to the treatment armamentarium against this disease.
