Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease, accounting for about 15.0-20.0% of all breast cancer cases. TNBC is associated with early recurrence and metastasis, strong invasiveness and a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy is currently the mainstay of treatment for TNBC, and achievement of a pathological complete response is closely associated with a long-term good prognosis. Improving the long-term prognosis in patients with TNBC is a challenge in breast cancer treatment, and more clinical evidence is needed to guide the choice of treatment strategies. The current study reviews the conventional treatment modality for TNBC and the selection of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) regimens available. The research progress on optimizing NACT regimens is also reviewed, and the uniqueness of the treatment of this breast cancer subtype is emphasized, in order to provide reference for the clinical practice and research with regard to TNBC treatment.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是一种异质性疾病,约占所有乳腺癌病例的15.0-20.0%。TNBC与早期复发和转移、强侵袭性及不良预后相关。化疗是目前TNBC的主要治疗手段,实现病理完全缓解与长期良好预后密切相关。改善TNBC患者的长期预后是乳腺癌治疗中的一项挑战,需要更多临床证据来指导治疗策略的选择。本研究回顾了TNBC的传统治疗方式以及可用的新辅助化疗(NACT)方案的选择。还综述了优化NACT方案的研究进展,并强调了这种乳腺癌亚型治疗的独特性,以便为TNBC治疗的临床实践和研究提供参考。
