Breast cancer ( BC ) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths. Triple‐negative breast cancer ( TNBC ) does not show immunohistochemical expression of oestrogen receptors, progesterone receptors or HER2. At present, no suitable treatment option is available for patients with TNBC . This dearth of effective conventional therapies for the treatment of advanced stage breast cancer has provoked the development of novel strategies for the management of patients with TNBC . This review presents recent information associated with different therapeutic options for the treatment of TNBC focusing on promising targets such as the Notch signalling, W nt/β‐catenin and Hedgehog pathways, in addition to EGFR , PARP1 , mTOR , TGF ‐β and angiogenesis inhibitors.
