TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer) is a subtype of breast cancer with an aggressive phenotype which shows high metastatic capability and poor prognosis. Owing to its intrinsic properties like heterogeneity, lack of hormonal receptors and aggressive phenotype leave chemotherapy as a mainstay for the treatment of TNBC. Various studies have demonstrated that chemotherapy alone or therapeutic drugs targeting TNBC pathways, epigenetic mechanisms and immunotherapy alone have not shown significant improvement in TNBC patients. On the other hand, a combination of therapeutic drugs or addition of chemotherapy with therapeutic drugs has shown substantial improvement in results and proven to be an effective strategy for TNBC treatment. This review sheds light on effective combinational drug strategies and current clinical trial status of various combinatorial drugs for the treatment of TNBC.
三阴性乳腺癌(Triple Negative Breast Cancer,TNBC)是一种侵袭性表型的乳腺癌亚型,具有较高的转移能力和较差的预后。由于其内在特性,如异质性、缺乏激素受体和侵袭性表型,使化疗成为治疗 TNBC 的主要手段。各种研究表明,单独化疗或针对 TNBC 途径、表观遗传机制和免疫疗法的治疗药物单独使用,并未显示对 TNBC 患者有显著改善。另一方面,治疗药物的联合使用或化疗与治疗药物的联合使用显示出显著的结果改善,并已被证明是治疗 TNBC 的有效策略。本综述阐明了有效的联合药物策略以及目前各种联合药物治疗 TNBC 的临床试验现状。
