Triple negative breast cancer TNBC = ER (0), PgR (0) and HER2 (IHC 0-1+ or FISH -) TNBC comprises approximately 15-20% of incident breast cancers Generally exhibit poor clinical outcomes BRCA mutations in nearly 20% of TNBC patients (vs 5% in non- TNBC) 16% BRCA1 4% BRCA2 No targeted treatment available for non-brca mutated TNBC Main treatment remains chemotherapy

When to consider for platinum in daily practice? Need for rapid loco-regional control -increased resectability Highest risk of relapse-stage III, very young patient Benefit to BRCA mutation carriers still under consideration Careful patient selection due to added risks of short term and long term toxicity DeMichele et al.

Neo/Adjuvant ongoing trials in BRCA+
Conclusion Current standard treatment for early TNBC remains the chemotherapeutic approaches - Anthracycline+ alkylator+ taxane-based chemotherapy backbone for all patients. - Sequential strategy, dose-dense preferred Consider platinum drugs if patient has known BRCA1/BRCA2 germline mutation. Consider neoadjuvant approach to tailor use of adjuvant therapy with capecitabine on the basis of residual disease burden at surgical excision. Exceptions made for: extremely small cancers, ineligible patients.
