Abstract
Abstract
Purpose of Review
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents about 15–20% of all breast cancers and often presents as an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis compared to other forms of breast cancer. This article will review the clinical manifestations, imaging features, pathology correlation, treatment and management, and prognosis of TNBC.
Recent Findings
While mammography and ultrasound can be used to diagnose TNBC, MRI is the most accurate and sensitive modality to detect TNBC at nearly 100% sensitivity. Contrast-enhanced breast MRI is the optimal imaging study for assessing response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and can be used to tailor systemic therapy.
Summary
Understanding the imaging appearance of TNBC is imperative to diagnose TNBC accurately and to help guide management.
