Is there really no cure for triple-negative breast cancer after it recurs and metastasizes?

There is still hope after triple-negative breast cancer recurs and metastasizes, as survival can usually be prolonged through systemic treatment.

Triple-negative breast cancer usually refers to progesterone receptors, estrogen receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 being negative in breast cancer pathological examinations. The negativity of these three receptors will make patients less sensitive to endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, and the prognosis is worse than other breast cancers, with a higher probability of early recurrence and metastasis. If a patient with triple-negative breast cancer relapses and metastasizes, it is usually difficult to treat, but it does not mean that there is no hope. Patients can usually undergo surgery or chemotherapy with the help of a doctor. Although it is difficult to achieve a clinical cure, it can help prolong the patient's survival, so there is hope.

Patients are advised to rest more during treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, get enough sleep, maintain a happy mood, avoid emotional ups and downs, and don't always worry about poor treatment. At the same time, pay attention to adjusting the diet structure, eat more nutritious foods, avoid eating cold and cold foods, and don't smoke or drink to avoid aggravating the discomfort symptoms.
