Contexte:
Patients with mTNBC have a poor prognosis and treatment options have been limited. Chemotherapy has been the standard of care for decades. Encouraging results of clinical trials for patients with mTNBC have led to more therapeutic options including immunotherapy and targeted therapy (i.e. PARP inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates). Determination of the PD-L1 and germline BRCA mutational status are key for management optimisation, particularly in the first-line setting of mTNBC.
