There were no discussions specific to Metaplastic Breast Cancer.
- A novel vaccine has been developed that has shown anti-cancer effects in a mouse model of TNBC.
- Exercise has been shown to slow breast cancer tumor growth and spread in rodent models.
- Exercise has been shown to improve breast cancer outcomes in observational studies.
- A large population-based study indicated reduced overall survival if neoadjuvant chemotherapy is applied later than 6 weeks after diagnosis or if adjuvant chemotherapy is applied later than 6 weeks after surgery.

Below is the latest information we gained in regards to TNBC:
- Advances in early-stage TNBC:
- Adjuvant capecitabine improves disease-free & overall survival
- Pembrolizumab, in addition to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, improves event-free survival
- Adjuvantolaparibimproves disease-free & overall survival in gBRCAl/2 mutation-associated high-risk breast cancer
- Carboplatinaddition to neoadjuvant anthracyclineandtaxanebasedchemotherapy improves disease-free& overall survival
- Advances in advanced stage TNBC:
- Olaparib & talazoparib improve progression-free survival in gBRCAl/ mutation-associated breast cancer
- Pembrolizumab improves progression-free& overall survival in PDLl+ advanced TNBC
- Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) improves progression-free & overall survival in pre-treated advanced TNBC
- Trastuzumab deruxtecan improves progression-free & overall survival in re-treated advanced HER2 low breast cancer including TNBC”
- Nearly one-half of breast cancer patients surveyed reported significant financial burden due to breast cancer
- Regional nodal irradiation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast cancer surgery does not improve overall survival, according to a study
MpBC Global Alliance Inc. Key Takeaways:
Continue to focus on gaining more research and attention specific to Metaplastic Breast Cancer without lumping us into TNBC.
Future Goals:
Support a conference/symposium specific to MpBC.
