triple-negative breast cancer

triple-negative breast cancer is a less common type of breast cancer. triple-negative means that the breast cancer cells don't have three things—estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of her-2 protein.

this type of breast cancer tends to spread more quickly than other types. treatments such as hormone therapy and some medicines that target her-2 don't work well on this type of cancer. but chemotherapy can be effective. in some cases, immunotherapy may be an option.
