TNBC lacks the three receptors commonly targeted by traditional breast cancer treatments, making it resistant to standard therapies [20].

Conclusion

The innovative treatment strategy employed in this clinical trial involved the use of a new class of drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors. These drugs work by unleashing the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. By targeting specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, the immune system is stimulated to mount a powerful and targeted response against the tumor. The results of the trial were nothing short of remarkable. Patients who received the immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy exhibited a significant increase in overall survival rates compared to those who received chemotherapy alone. Moreover, the combination therapy also demonstrated a higher rate of tumor shrinkage and a decrease in the risk of cancer recurrence.
