Abstract:

Triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) is defined as one of the subtypes of breast cancer, which has been attracted much attention in recent years because of the aggressive behavior and inferior prognosis. This review summarizes clinical pathologic features, molecular biologic features and treatments of TNBC. Clinical pathologic features include epidemiologic, clinical and pathobiologic features. Molecular biologic features demonstrate the relationship between TNBC and basal-like breast cancer, breast cancer 1(BRCA1) and p53 gene. Treatments include surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, high dose chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Further research in TNBC may provide more effective therapies.

Key words: triple negative breast cancer, feature, treatment, progression
