Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer that is often associated with an aggressive phenotype and a poor prognosis. Cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for most patients with metastatic TNBC (mTNBC), but duration of response is often short and median overall survival is only 12–18 months. Therefore, it is critical to identify novel treatment strategies to improve outcomes for these patients. In this review article, we discuss recent advances in treatment strategies for patients with mTNBC including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, and antibody–drug conjugates. For each topic, we summarize important preclinical and clinical data, discuss implications for clinical practice, and highlight future research directions.
