Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) attracts a disproportionate share of intensive research because of its poor prognosis. Standard anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens still yield an unsatisfactorily low rate of pathologic complete response (pCR). The pCR rate is a recognized surrogate marker for good long-term survival.
