Objective  To explore the characters and therapy of the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Methods  The pertinent literatures with key words “triple-negative breast cancer”,“diagnosis”,and “therapy” were retrieved and reviewed.
Results  TNBC was a subtype of breast cancer characterized by negative expressions of estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR),and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2). The clinicopathologic feature and prognosis of TNBC were distinct from other breast cancer. The age of onset was younger,disease free survival and total survival rate were lower in the patients with TNBC. At present, the therapy guideline was lack of TNBC,which referred to the non-TNBC,including local surgery,systemic chemotherapy,and the target therapy was at the clinical trial stage.
Conclusions  TNBC is one of heterogeneity characteristics for the breast cancer,which has extra much difference. For improving the TNBC prognosis,we hope that more and more significant markers to TNBC in the future are found,which are useful to make individuation treatment.
