Defeating Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This article explores some advancements in breast cancer management, specifically for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment options. It highlights crucial developments in enhanced early detection, innovative treatment combinations, particularly the utilization of PARP inhibitors, improved access to clinical trials, genomic profiling, robust supportive care programs, and public awareness initiatives. Enhanced early detection utilizing liquid biopsies, such as Guardant360, demonstrated a 25% increase in detection rates compared to traditional tissue biopsies, with statistical assessment using the McNemar Test indicating significant improvements in diagnostic accuracy.
