Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis among all molecular types of breast cancer. Because of the strong immunogenicity of TNBC cells, programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors, two kinds of immune checkpoint blockade agents, might help improve the prognosis of TNBC. However, how to better use PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and select patients who may benefit from treatment options remains controversial. This article summarizes published clinical studies in which PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were used in patients with advanced TNBC to explore how to maximize effectiveness of these medications.
