Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis among all molecular types of breast cancer. Because of the strong immunogenicity of TNBC cells, programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors, two kinds of immune checkpoint blockade agents, might help improve the prognosis of TNBC. However, how to better use PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and select patients who may benefit from treatment options remains controversial. This article summarizes published clinical studies in which PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were used in patients with advanced TNBC to explore how to maximize effectiveness of these medications.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)在所有分子类型的乳腺癌中预后最差。由于TNBC细胞具有较强的免疫原性,程序性死亡1/程序性死亡配体1(PD-1/PD-L1)抑制剂这两种免疫检查点阻断剂可能有助于改善TNBC的预后。然而,如何更好地使用PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂以及选择可能从治疗方案中获益的患者仍存在争议。本文总结了已发表的关于在晚期TNBC患者中使用PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂的临床研究,以探讨如何使这些药物的疗效最大化。
