What’s Happening in the Fight Against Triple Negative Breast Cancer
At OKBC, we believe an informed woman is an empowered woman. Here is what researchers, doctors, and scientists are learning right now about Triple negative Breast Cancer – and what it means for you.
Breakthrough 1
New treatment is outperforming standard care. A major clinical study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that combining a drug called sacituzmab govitecan with pembrolizumab produced stronger, longer-lasting results compared to the current standard treatment for advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer. This could soon change how doctors treat TNBC for the first time in years and that is big news for women everywhere.
Breakthrough 2
Scientists discover a new target in TNBC cells. Researchers discovered that in about 60% of Triple Negative Breast Cancers, a gene called HORMAD1 becomes abnormally active – disrupting how cancer cells divide and making the cancer more aggressive. However, this same abnormality also creates a weakness that scientists believe can be targeted with new treatments, opening a door that was not there before.
food & diet – foods that may increase risk
A 2026 Princeton university study found that a high-fat diet accelerated the growth and invasiveness of Triple Negative breast Cancer in tumor models – a finding that has important implications for what women eat during and after treatment.
food & diet – foods that may help
Research shows that a healthy dietary pattern focused on seafood and vegetables was linked to a lower risk of triple Negative Breast Cancer while higher intake of animal fat, eggs, and meat was associated with increased risk.
