Evolving Frontiers in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Therapeutic Strategies and Emerging Paradigms
摘要
The therapeutic landscape of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) has evolved with the development of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), which enable the targeting of novel surface antigens to deliver potent cytotoxic chemotherapy payloads.
Purpose of the ReviewThis review outlines the current standard of care and highlights recent pivotal trials supporting trop-2 ADCs as frontline therapy.
Recent FindingsThe treatment of mTNBC has shifted from chemotherapy-based to a biomarker-informed paradigm. In parallel, key biological features of mTNBC – genomic instability, increased tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and defects in DNA damage repair – have created opportunities for targeted and immune-based treatment strategies. We examine the potential of novel biomarkers and investigational therapeutic methods that might further advance the treatment of mTNBC.
SummaryThis review discusses how optimizing ADC sequencing, identifying predictive biomarkers, and overcoming therapeutic resistance are critical ongoing research areas to advance therapeutic options for mTNBC.
