Triple Negative Cancer; Definition TRN: immunophenotypic description ER (-) PR (-) Her-2/neu (-) 10-17% of all breast cancers, depending on the thresholds of tests
Early Relapse Others Triple negative Canada 456 pts Tischkowitz et al. BMC Cancer 2007;134:7

Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Definition ER- / PgR- / HER2- ~15% of all breast carcinomas Poorly differentiated; express cytokeratins 5/6, 17 Triple negative but not basal 10-30% can also include claudin-low, a subtype notable for high expression of stem cell markers Clinical assay (IHC) Triple negative and basal-like Gene arrays Basal but not triple negative 15-40% are ER+, PR+ or HER2+
TN and BP not Synonymous TN: heterogeneous group Small part Normal breast like Adenoid cystic carcinoma Medullary BP: also heterogeneous BRCA1 mutation Small part express ER Myoepithelial differentiation
There are 7 identified Triple negative subtypes These 7 subtypes predict for pcr in neoadjuvant studies but further follow-up is needed to see if they predict long-term outcome The 7 subtype classification mmay lead to innovative personalised medicine strategies for TRN breast cancer Masuda et al ASCO 2013

Triple Negative Breast cancer Should we screen for metastatic relapse in high risk patients Should we screen for brain metastases in patients with established metastatic disease at other sites? Should we treat them with standard chemotherapy? Are there any other targets and treatment opportunities?
Treatment of TN Breast Ca. No standard therapies Lack of hormone, lack of Her-2/neu targeting agents BRCA1 dysfunction may be a target Cisplatin- DNA cross-link DNA repair- PARP1 inhibitor
Triple Negative Tumors are Chemosensitive Studies have shown that TNBC is more responsive to anthracycline or anthracycline/taxane chemotherapy than Luminal subtypes Patients who had a complete response to chemotherapy had good prognosis regardless of subtype Despite this, TNBC patients still have a worse distant disease free-survival and a poor prognosis Result of high likelihood of relapse in TNBC Most of the data are extrapolated from neoadjuvant studies of from unplanned subset analysis of metastatic trials (ixabepilone and eribulin)

Key messages TRN is not one disease For whom do platinums work? How do we integrate platinums with real PARP inhibitors? Is neoadjuvant now the best testing ground for TRN Should we devise trials for TRN subgroups (luminal vs the rest) Role of Androgen receptor and androgen receptor inhibitors in TRN AR+ breast cancer Are platinums ready for prime time? NB neoadjuvant may not predict results in MBC and vice versa (think BEATRICE and the endocrine resistance story)
