Triple-negative breast cancer is characterized by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors, and does not involve overexpression of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2). It is associated with poor prognosis, a high risk of local recurrence, and poor disease-free and cancer-specific survival. Overall, breast cancer is the second most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. In the US, breast cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, regardless of gender, behind lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
