Abstract

Introduction : Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered the most aggressive breast cancer subtype with the least favorable outcomes. However, recent research efforts have generated an enhanced knowledge of the biology of the disease and have provided a new, more comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted ecosystem that underpins TNBC. Areas covered : In this review, the authors illustrate the principal biological characteristics of TNBC, the molecular driver alterations, targetable genes, and the biomarkers of immune engagement that have been identified across the subgroups of TNBC. Accordingly, the authors summarize the landscape of the innovative and investigative biomarker-driven therapeutic options in TNBC that emerge from the unique biological basis of the disease. Expert opinion The therapeutic setting of TNBC is rapidly evolving. An enriched understanding of the tumor spatial and temporal heterogeneity and the surrounding microenvironment of this complex disease can effectively support the development of novel and tailored opportunities of treatment.
