Abstract: Triplenegative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease. It has distinct risk factors, molecular biology features, clinical presentations and prognosis. TNBC recurrence is common after resection, and the survival rate is low and available treatment options are few after recurrence. To date, chemotherapy is the main treatment strategy for TNBC. There is a great need for new molecular predictive marks and drug targets for improving the efficacy of TNBC treatment.

Key words: Breast neoplasms, Drug therapy, Triple negative
