Richard S. Finn, MD, discusses current research in triple-negative breast cancer
Richard S. Finn, MD, associate professor of medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, discusses current research in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

- Patients withBRCA-mutated breast cancer are often triple negative
- There is still a need to better understand the biology of TNBC in order to bring the right drugs to these patients
