Purpose Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent not used routinely for breast cancer
treatment. As a DNA cross-linking agent, cisplatin may be effective treatment for hereditary
BRCA1-mutated breast cancers. Because sporadic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)
and BRCA1-associated breast cancer share features suggesting common pathogenesis, we
conducted a neoadjuvant trial of cisplatin in TNBC and explored specific biomarkers to
identify predictors of response.
Abstract
Purpose
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent not used routinely for breast cancer treatment. As a DNA cross-linking agent, cisplatin may be effective treatment for hereditary BRCA1-mutated breast cancers. Because sporadic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and BRCA1-associated breast cancer share features suggesting common pathogenesis, we conducted a neoadjuvant trial of cisplatin in TNBC and explored specific biomarkers to identify predictors of response.
