Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a challenge clinically due to the lack of actionable targets coupled with an aggressive disease course and a worse prognosis compared to other breast cancer subtypes. This book covers aspects of TNBC ranging from epidemiology, biology, molecular classification, to currently available and potentially new therapeutic options for TNBC. This book contains a range of recommended resources, including recent reviews, schematic illustrations, and information for patients with TNBC. Individuals including researchers and educators, practitioners, pharmaceutical professionals, patients as well as their family members will find this book useful.Contents: Foreword by Zhi-Ming ShaoForeword by Yibin KangAbout the EditorsList of ContributorsAbbreviationsOverview of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (Chanjuan Zheng, Guangchun He, and Xiyun Deng)Heterogeneity and Subtyping of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (Yingying Wu, Qiuting Zhang, and Ceshi Chen)Genetics and Signaling Events in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (Ying Li, Liang Zeng, and Faqing Tang)Epigenetics in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (Ju Zhou, Sisi Chen, Md.
