Abstract Background TNBC comprises a distinct disease entity with a unique microenvironment of TILs, the immunogenic potential of TNBC is derived from its genetic instability and high mutation rate. Tumors from patients with TNBC are more likely than tumors from patients with other subtypes to exhibit chromosomal instability and potential mutations. Objectives The study aims to evaluate the prevalence of CD8+ TILs biomarker by IHC in triple negative breast cancer and its prognostic value. TILs are an important prognostic value for the response of patient to chemotherapy the greater number of TILS is associated with higher probability of response to chemotherapy also decrease recurrence. TILS in triple negative breast cancer suggest a likely option for immunotherapy in this disease. Patients and Methods This is a retrospective study, which was carried on 30 female patients, Clinical data and paraffin wax block of female patients with triple negative breast cancer are to be collected from the breast cancer unit, department of clinical Oncology and Nuclear medicine Ain Shams university and Matarya teaching hospital. Results Several large systematic reviews and meta-analyses have confirmed that high levels of TILs are associated with better disease free survival and overall survival only in triple negative and HER2 positive subtypes, with no significant benefit seen in estrogen receptor positive breast carcinoma. In the Breast International Group (BIG) 02-98 trial shows that for every 10% increase in the intertumoral TILs there was a 17% reduced risk of relapse, and 27% reduced risk of death regardless of chemotherapy type. Also in eastern cooperative oncology group trial (ECOG) 2197, and 1199 showed that for every 10% increase in TILs, a 14% reduction of risk of recurrence, and 19% reduction in risk of death were observed. Conclusion Our study showed that All our patients (100%) were positive for CD8+, with a minimum range of 1% and a maximum range of 60%, most of the patients (20 patients) had CD8% between (10% to 20%). High levels of CD8 + TILs are good prognostic indicators in TNBC. our study showed that there were associations of CD8+ TILs infiltrate status with longer progression free survival and better overall survival in triple-negative breast cancer, but were not statistically significant probably due to our small sample size.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a group of breast carcinoma characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen and progesterone hormone receptors (ER, PgR) and HER2. This form is also characterized by its aggressiveness, a low survival rate, and the absence of targeted therapies. This study was planned to evaluate the clinical features, treatment, and prognosis characteristics of TNBC in a population of Moroccan patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 905 patients diagnosed with breast cancer at the National Institute of Oncology in Rabat, Morocco, have been included. Based on molecular subtype, patients were divided into 2 categories: TNBC and non-TNBC patients. Data were recorded from patients’ medical files and analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software (IBM). Results: Overall, 17% of the patients had TNBC. At diagnosis, the median age of TNBC cases was 47 years, with extreme ages of 40 and 55 years. The median follow-up time was 30 months (10-53 months) and the 3-year survival rate was 76%. No significant difference was observed among the patients in terms of age at diagnosis, age at menarche, age at the time of first birth, nulliparity, oral contraception, and family history of breast cancer. Menopausal status and the number of pregnancy were significantly higher in the non-TNBC group. The percentage of grade 3 (G3) tumors was higher in the TNBC group ( P < .001). Using neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a net benefit in the event-free survival was registered for the 2 groups. Conclusions: This retrospective study was very informative and showed that women with TNBC had a less favorable prognosis than non-TNBC cases. Clinical data demonstrated that risk factors including age, premenopausal status, parity, hormonal contraceptive use, advanced disease, and a high histologic grade were independently associated with TNBC. However, large tumors and high Scarff-Bloom and Richardson grade prevail in TNBC cases with a higher incidence of lymph node metastases.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in Indian women, having recently surpassed cervical cancer in incidence. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), which accounts for 15 % of all the breast cancers is an aggressive type seen in younger women with early signs of metastasis, has a poor prognosis due to systemic recurrence and its refractoriness to conventional adjuvant therapy. The purpose of this study was to look into the various prognostic factors associated with 5 years disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in TNBC. METHODS This retrospective study included 67 patients with complete treatment and followup (median 57 months) presented and treated in the Department of Radiotherapy, Kottayam, between January 2011 and December 2012. The Kaplan-Meier approach was used to analyse survival. Using the log-rank test, univariate analysis of prognostic factors was completed. Using the Cox regression process, multivariate analysis was performed on IBM SPSS version 20. RESULTS The average age was 51.36 ± 11.393 (median, 51.36 years; range 30.0 – 80.0 years), with a median of 50 months, the five-year OS was 65.7 % and DFS was found to be 59.7 % with a median of 45 months, suggesting aggressive nature and poor TNBC survival. Univariate analysis of prognostic factor, clinical stage (cN) and positive nodes (pN) status, clinical tumour size, lympho-vascular invasion (LVI), grade, and nodal density were found to have a significant impact on DFS. Except tumour grade and LVI all were found to be associated with OS. Multivariate analysis, clinical tumour size and pathological nodal status had a significant impact on OS and DFS. CONCLUSIONS TNBC is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer in younger patients with a high risk of metastasis to visceral organs with inherent molecular subtypes and immunological heterogeneity. For treatment of TNBC, targeted estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) receptor based initial treatment setting will improve the outcome dramatically and will fill the unmet clinical needs.
