Most breast cancer-related deaths arise from triple-negative cancer (TNBC). Molecular heterogeneity, aggressiveness and the lack of effective therapies are major hurdles to therapeutic progress. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells have emerged as a promising immunotherapeutic strategy in TNBC. This approach combines specificity an antibody with effector function T cells.This review examines opportunities provided by CAR-T cell solid tumors. Emerging targets, ongoing clinical trials, prospective implications TNBC considered later.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known to have a relatively poor outcome with variable prognoses, raising the need for more informative risk stratification. We investigated set of digital, artificial intelligence (AI)-based spatial tumour microenvironment (sTME) features and explored their prognostic value in TNBC. After performing tissue classification on digitised haematoxylin eosin (H&E) slides TNBC cases, we employed deep learning-based algorithm segment regions into tumour, stroma, lymphocytes order compute quantitative concerning relationship stroma. The digital was using survival analysis Cox proportional hazard models cross-validation setting two independent international multi-centric cohorts: Australian Breast Cancer Tissue Bank (AUBC) cohort (n = 318) Genome Atlas (TCGA) 111). proposed stromal tumour-infiltrating (Digi-sTILs) score tumour-associated stroma (Digi-TAS) were found carry strong disease-specific survival, Digi-sTILs Digi-TAS scores giving C-index values 0.65 (p 0.0189) 0.60 0.0437), respectively, TCGA as validation set.
