Molecularly targeted therapies for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

Authors: Soley Bayraktar, Stefan Glück

Published in: Breast Cancer Research and Treatment | Issue 1/2013

Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to a heterogeneous group of tumors that do not express the estrogen/progesterone-receptor (ER/PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). TNBC is an aggressive histological subtype with limited treatment options and very poor prognosis following progression after standard chemotherapy regimens. There have been significant improvements in the outcome of other subtypes of breast cancer, including ER-positive/HER2 overexpressed tumors, attributed to the addition of targeted therapy, including hormonal agents and trastuzumab. However, no specific targeted agents are currently available for the treatment of TNBC. This review aims to collate and describe the most recent data on targeted therapies that have demonstrated efficacy in the management of metastatic TNBC. Targeted agents that have been investigated in the treatment of metastatic TNBC include inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, angiogenesis, mammalian target of rapamycin, epidermal growth factor receptor, HDAC, Jak2, and Src. Several of these agents have shown considerable promise.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Watch now

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
