Around 15% of all breast cancers – over 8,000 cases a year in the UK – are triple negative.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States (US), with approximately 280,000 women diagnosed with this malignancy in 2021.
TNBC constitutes approximately 15% of all diagnosed breast cancer cases in the US and is associated with distant metastases, aggressive histology, poorer prognosis, shorter survival, and unresponsiveness to therapy compared to other breast cancer subtypes. Patients with TNBC by definition are not candidates for endocrine therapy or treatment with targeted HER2 agents. Although TNBC responds to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients who do not achieve a complete response have a disproportionately high relapse and mortality rate.
TNBC accounts for ~10-15% of all breast cancer cases, with 300 thousand cases reported globally in 2022. Asia leads in incidence followed by Europe, North America, and the rest of the world.
The global triple-negative breast cancer treatment market size was evaluated at $11 billion in 2022 and is slated to hit $20 billion by the end of 2030
