Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), accounting for 15-20% of all breast cancers, lacks estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and amplification or overexpression of Her-2. As such, these tumors are not responsive to hormonal or anti-Her2 therapies, and are usually treated with combinations of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Although many triple negative tumors respond well to chemotherapy, patients generally have poorer prognosis, higher relapse rates with aggressive tumor growth, and high metastatic potential. More than 300 clinical trials are currently ongoing in TNBC (www.clinicaltrials.gov) evaluating various single agent and combination approaches with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Clinically, radiation therapy has been associated with decreased risk of locoregional recurrence and some instances of improved overall survival when compared to patients that did not receive radiation therapy.1, 2
