Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous and aggressive group of tumors that are defined by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors and lack of ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu) overexpression. TNBC accounts for 8%–13% of breast cancers. In addition, it accounts for a higher proportion of breast cancers in younger women compared with those in older women, and it disproportionately affects non-Hispanic Black women.The survival rate for TNBCis generally worse than other breast cancer subtypes. TNBC treatment has made significant advances, but certain limitations remain. Triple negative breast cancer has a negative expression of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER2). The survival rate for TNBCis generally worse than other breast cancer subtypes.Early TNBC outcomes have improved due to the intensification of therapies, including improvements in polychemotherapy and the addition of immunotherapy. Future efforts are needed to identify targetable aberrations for specific drug therapy, prevent immune evasion, and increase social-economic support. The non-availability of specific treatment options for TNBC is usually managedbyconventional therapy, which often leads to relapse.The focus of this review is to provide up-to-date information related to pathophysiology, prognosis, treatment, challenges, and future perspectives. The data presented in this paper may be helpful for researchers working in the field to obtain general and information to advance the understanding of TNBC and provide suitable disease management in the future.
