Current and Future Role of Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy for Early Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Which Way to Go Forward.

ABSTRACT

Immunotherapy has revolutionized previous triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment algorithms, prompting researchers and clinicians to consider the expansion of the role of immunotherapy in other settings, including the earlier stage of the disease (e.g., as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy). The role of chemoimmunotherapy have been assessed in some recently presented and published clinical trials, including the KEYNOTE-522, the IMpassion031, and the GeparNUEVO. In the current Editorial, we will provide a critical snapshot of these studies, exploring strengths and limitations of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in early TNBC.
