Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Journey: Beginning, End, and Everything in Between

Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a very heterogeneous and aggressive breast cancer subtype with a high risk of mortality, even if diagnosed early. The mainstay of early-stage breast cancer includes systemic chemotherapy and surgery, with or without radiation therapy. More recently, immunotherapy is approved to treat TNBC, but managing immune-rated adverse events while balancing efficacy is a challenge. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current treatment recommendations for early-stage TNBC and the management of immunotherapy toxicities.The early-stage TNBC journey: beginning, end, and everything in between #BreastCancer #TNBC @JCO_ASCO.
