Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer: the New Frontier.


ABSTRACT: Purpose of review:This review summarizes current immunotherapies in breast cancer, with an emphasis on immune checkpoint inhibitors and vaccines. Recent findings:Combination immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors and cytotoxic therapies have shown promising results. Active clinical trials are ongoing in both early stage and metastatic settings for triple negative, HER2+, and hormone-positive breast cancer patients. Summary:Ongoing challenges remain in defining biomarkers that predict response to immunotherapy, determining the optimal combination immunotherapies, and enhancing the immunogenicity of breast cancer subtypes.
