Presurgical camrelizumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved responses versus chemotherapy alone in early or locally advanced TNBC.

Tecentriq plus chemotherapy did not improve event-free survival in triple-negative breast cancer but increased rate of complete tumor removal.

Patients with high-risk, HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer treated with HER3-DXd with or without Femara (letrozole) experienced fewer side effects than with chemotherapy.

Several biomarkers may predict improved treatment responses and outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.
