Specific Receptors

TNBC; Triple negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive type of breast cancer with a high reoccurrence and mortality rate. The reason behind its aggressive type is that TNBC do not have such specific receptors as other cancers. Substantially, Breast tumor cells carries receptors that work as doors for many mechanisms and hormone/enzyme based treatment. These receptors are estrogen (female hormone), Progesterone (female hormone) and HER-2 (Protein; Human epidermal receptor). Absence of these enzymes is result into the less option availability in cancer treatment. To find more possible treatments like chemotherapy, lumpectomy, radiation therapy and other gene therapy we first need to understand the concept behind occurrence and reoccurrence of TNBC. This review listed the possible study of triple negative breast cancer including its appearance in society and the molecular/genetic involvement. It is formerly known that cancer take place due to mutation in BRCA group of genes so it is important to know how it works in the case of TNBC. This study also summarizes the influence of anti-diabetic drug treatment (e.g. metformin) on diabetic cancer patients in order to cancer therapy of TNBC and effect of high glucose concentric cells on anti- cancer drug treatments and strategies for development in TNBC development. Keywords: TNBC; female hormone, breast cancer, BRCA group.

Near Future

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been shown to respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). It has been established that achieving pathological complete response (pCR) for certain aggressive subtypes of breast cancer, including HER-2 (over-expressed) and TNBC, provides an important surrogate marker for predicting long-term clinical response and survival outcomes. How to increase the number of patients that achieve pCR remains challenging. Platinum-based NACT seems to be part of the solution and capecitabine, an active drug in metastatic breast cancer, but not a standard one in earlier stages may have found its place in the adjuvant setting. In the near future immunotherapy can play a role in early TNBC

Negative Phenotype

Triple-negative breast cancer is 1024% of all cases of breast cancer and is characterized by the absence of estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2 receptors in the tumor. The therapy of this illness is a difficult clinical case. In contrast to hormone-positive and HER-2-positive phenotypes, in which we successfully use targeted drugs (antiestrogens and anti-HER-2 drugs), for triple-negative breast cancer we have not had such targets for a long time. Thus, despite the impressive results of immunotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer, there remains a fairly large group of patients with negative PD-L1 status, for whom it is necessary to develop other treatment strategies. One of the approaches in the treatment of malignant tumors includes not the impact on tumor cells, but the process of angiogenesis. Antiangiogenic drugs have positively proven themselves in the treatment of a large number of malignant tumors but are underestimated for breast cancer (including triple-negative phenotype). The use of bevacizumab in combinations with cytostatic drugs in breast cancer therapy (including triple-negative breast cancer) has been studied in a large number of clinical trials but was undeservedly forgotten in some countries due to the revoked FDA registration. This review presents the role of bevacizumab in the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer and suggests the conditions when the administration of this drug is justified and leads to better results.

1027 Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the efficacy of systemic treatment (chemotherapy [chth], endocrine therapy, targeted therapy) performed after WBRT in patients (pts) with breast cancer and brain metastases. Methods: The group of 222 consecutive breast cancer pts with brain metastases treated in one institution in the years 2003–2006 was divided into four biological subgroups based on ER, PR, and HER-2 receptors’ expression: HER-2(+++)ER/PR(-); HER-2(+++)ER/PR(+); ER(-)PR(-)HER-2(-); and ER/PR(+)HER-2(-). WBRT was performed in 219 (99%) pts. Systemic therapy after WBRT was continued in 160 (72%) pts. Clinically, patients with triple-negative breast cancer were more often in poor performance status (KPS<60%) than the others (51% vs. 28%, respectively). Survivals from brain metastases without and with systemic treatment were compared in four mentioned biological subgroups. Results: Median survival from brain metastases in the entire group was 7.5 months. In the group of ER/PR(+)HER-2(-) median survival without and with systemic therapy was 3 and 14 months, respectively (p = 0.007). In the group of HER-2(+++)ER/PR(+) median survival without further treatment, after chth and after chth with trastuzumab was 2, 8, and 13 months, respectively (p = 0.000) and in the group of HER-2(+++)ER/PR(-) median survival without further treatment, after chth and after chth with trastuzumab was 4, 8, and 10 months, respectively (p = 0.004). In triple-negative breast cancer patients median survival without and with chemotherapy was 3 and 4 months, respectively (p = 0.75). Conclusions: Systemic treatment (chth, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy) continued after WBRT in breast cancer pts with brain metastases prolongs survival in three of four biological subgroups. In the group of HER-2-positive breast cancer pts, trastuzumab added to chth had independent positive impact on survival. No benefit was observed in the subgroup of triple-negative breast cancer pts; it would be the result of refractory disease and the fact, that more pts were in poor performance status. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
