What is TNBC?
Around 15 per cent of people with early breast cancer will have a sub-type called TNBC. TNBC is a type of breast cancer that does not have any of the three receptors commonly found on breast cancer cells – the oestrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors. This means they don't respond to treatments that block these receptors. TNBC generally respond well to chemotherapy.
