TLDR
Tandem HD improves both EFS and OS in HRBC, and this therapy effect may be partly attributable to superior efficacy in the subgroup of triple-negative tumors and/or G3 with their poor prognostic marker profile.

Triple-negative breast cancer: challenges and opportunities of a heterogeneous disease

TL;DR: The most relevant molecular findings in TNBC from the past decade are discussed and the most promising therapeutic opportunities derived from these data are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: An Unmet Medical Need

TL;DR: The clinical problem of triple-negative disease, potential prognostic factors, demonstrated efficacy of currently available therapeutic options, and new potential therapies are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple-negative breast cancer—current status and future directions

TL;DR: Triple-negative breast cancer is defined by a lack of expression of both estrogen and progesterone receptor as well as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, characterized by distinct molecular, histological and clinical features including a particularly unfavorable prognosis despite increased sensitivity to standard cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Overview of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Important molecular characteristics have been identified that can subdivide this group of breast cancers further and can provide alternative systemic therapies and reliable predictive biomarkers and newer drugs against the known molecular pathways are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple-negative breast cancer: role of specific chemotherapy agents.

TL;DR: TNBC is itself a heterogeneous group in which subgroups such as BRCA1 mutation carriers may have particular sensitivity to platinum agents and relatively less sensitivity to taxanes, so the identification of additional molecular biomarkers to predict response to specific chemotherapy is required to further improve treatment strategies.

Molecular portraits of human breast tumours

TL;DR: Variation in gene expression patterns in a set of 65 surgical specimens of human breast tumours from 42 different individuals were characterized using complementary DNA microarrays representing 8,102 human genes, providing a distinctive molecular portrait of each tumour.

Effects of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy for early breast cancer on recurrence and 15-year survival: an overview of the randomised trials

O. Abe, +412 more
- 14 May 2005 - 
TL;DR: The 10-year and 15-year effects of various systemic adjuvant therapies on breast cancer recurrence and survival are reported and it is found that the cumulative reduction in mortality is more than twice as big at 15 years as at 5 years after diagnosis.

EGFR and cancer prognosis

TL;DR: The EGFR was found to act as a strong prognostic indicator in head and neck, ovarian, cervical, bladder and oesophageal cancers, and in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR expression only rarely was related to patient outlook.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Triple Negative Paradox: Primary Tumor Chemosensitivity of Breast Cancer Subtypes

TL;DR: Basal-like and HER2+/ER− subtypes are more sensitive to anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy than luminal breast cancers and could be explained by a higher likelihood of relapse in patients in whom pathologic complete response was not achieved.
