Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer associated with poor prognosis. While chemotherapy remains the conventional treatment approach, its efficacy is limited and often accompanied by significant toxicity. Advances in precision-targeted therapies have expanded treatment options for TNBC, including immunotherapy, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, androgen receptor inhibitors, cell cycle-dependent kinase inhibitors, and signaling pathway inhibitors. However, the heterogeneous nature of TNBC contributes to variations in treatment outcomes, underscoring the importance of identifying intrinsic molecular subtypes for personalized therapy. Additionally, due to patient-specific variability, the therapeutic response to targeted treatments is inconsistent. This highlights the need to strategize patients based on potential therapeutic targets for targeted drugs to optimize treatment strategies. This review summarizes the classification strategies and immunohistochemical (IHC) biomarkers for TNBC subtypes, along with potential targets for identifying indications for targeted drug therapy. These insights aim to support the development of personalized treatment approaches for TNBC patients.
期刊介绍:
Carcinogenesis: Integrative Cancer Research is a multi-disciplinary journal that brings together all the varied aspects of research that will ultimately lead to the prevention of cancer in man. The journal publishes papers that warrant prompt publication in the areas of Biology, Genetics and Epigenetics (including the processes of promotion, progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, genomic instability, growth factors, cell and molecular biology, mutation, DNA repair, genetics, etc.), Cancer Biomarkers and Molecular Epidemiology (including genetic predisposition to cancer, and epidemiology), Inflammation, Microenvironment and Prevention (including molecular dosimetry, chemoprevention, nutrition and cancer, etc.), and Carcinogenesis (including oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in carcinogenesis, therapy resistance of solid tumors, cancer mouse models, apoptosis and senescence, novel therapeutic targets and cancer drugs).
