The panel grounds the discussion in the biology and natural history of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, framing it as a high-proliferation subtype prone to rapid resistance, in which the first-line setting offers an important opportunity to influence outcomes. Panelists outline a biomarker-driven treatment algorithm stratified by PD-L1 status, germline BRCA status, and prior early-stage therapy, touching on immune checkpoint inhibition, PARP inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and the role of antibody-drug conjugates across lines of therapy.
