Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses significant management challenges because it is aggressive, heterogeneous, and associated with poor survival compared with other breast cancer subtypes. A large amount of data has been generated from clinical trials of investigational approaches to treating metastatic TNBC (mTNBC). Nonetheless, the current standard of care remains sequential chemotherapy, often with single agents. With exciting new advances in our understanding of TNBC, as well as promising emerging therapies, it is important that your patients receive the best possible care using available agents, and that you are poised to integrate new therapies into practice if and when they are approved for use. During the Medical Crossfire®: A Critical Assessment of Current and Emerging Data Sets to Move Treatment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Forward educational activity, expert breast cancer faculty review their best practices for mTNBC, and share their perspectives on the latest data and factors that have the potential to significantly change your clinical practice.
