About triple negative breast cancer

Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive form of invasive breast cancer that tends to grow and spread more quickly, has fewer treatment options, and often has a worse prognosis.

The term triple negative refers to the fact that cancer cells have no estrogen or progesterone receptors and produce little or no HER2 protein.

Approximately 10-15% of breast cancer cases are triple-negative and commonly occur in women who are younger than 40 years of age, are black, and have a BRCA1 mutation.
