What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer?
The journey toward remission begins with knowing vital information about your diagnosis.
Breast cancer is a complex disease with many subtypes, one of which is triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC tests negative for progesterone receptors, estrogen receptors, and excess HER2 protein. Therefore, triple-negative breast cancer does not respond to hormone therapy and conventional techniques that usually target the receptors of these hormones.
10 to 20 percent of people who receive a breast cancer diagnosis have the TNBC subtype. TNBC grows rapidly, has a higher grade, and tends to metastasize (spread) without immediate care.
Reverse the Signs of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
The symptoms of triple-negative breast cancer are, in most cases, the same as those of other breast cancer types. Here at New Hope Unlimited, among our goals is to undo such symptoms, which may include:
- A mass or lump in the breast
- Breast pain or tenderness
- Redness of the breast
- Discharge from the nipple
- A nipple that turns inward
What Caused Your Cancer?
Research about the causes of triple-negative breast cancer is ongoing. However, scientists and doctors have discovered that TNBC occurs most often in:
- Those with the BRCA1 gene mutation
- Younger women below age 40 or 50
- Premenstrual African-American women
- Women with an increased hip-to-waist ratio
- Women who have never had or have fewer children
- Women who have never breastfed, or only breastfed for shortened periods of time
Diagnostic Tests for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Earlier diagnosis improves your triple-negative breast cancer prognosis and life expectancy. Like other breast cancers, diagnosing TNBC often requires you to undergo the following tests:
- Mammogram
- Breast MRI scan
- Breast ultrasound
- Core biopsy or fine-needle aspiration
After receiving a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis, the most important step is to plan your treatment.
