- The management of breast cancer, both in
early and in advanced stages, had become a
“receptor-driven therapy”.
- Main breast cancer determinants have both
prognostic and predictive role, such as ER,
PgR and Her2.
- They also reflect the moment when the cell
develops the tumor phenotype.

• Triple-negative breast cancer are a heterogenous
subgroup of tumours.
• The 75 per cent of them shown a “Basal-like
signature” (more than a half express TP53mutations, some are BRCA1-mut carriers).
• They have high proliferative rate and a poor
prognosis (in terms of poor relapse-free and/or
overall survival).

Several DNA damage response pathways exist:

679 consecutive Bc patients; among them, 87 (13%) where ER, PgR and
Her2-ve.
TN patients had significantly higher VEGF activiity:
mValue = 8.2 pg/μg (versus 2.7 pg/μg in non-TN ones; p <.001)
62% of TN-patients had a VEGF acitivity above the median value,
respect to the 47% of ER and/or PgR and/or Her2+ve ones. (p = 0.036).
TN status seems do not correlate with other clinical prognostic factors such as
Tumour size (p = 0.07), nodal status (p =0.1), histological grade (p = 0.17)
type of relapse (p = 0.82), age (p = 0.18).
Her2 overexpression was associated with high levels of VEGF (p <.001).

Conclusions:
1) The absence of a target seems define a target in itself.
2) For a high percentage of triple-negative tumours we may
hypotize an angiogenesis addiction.
3) Anti-VEGf agents seem work well in all the subtypes of triplenegative tumours.
