[Long-term response to second-line treatment with sacituzumab govitecan in a patient affected by brain disease and early relpased TNBC.].

The higher frequency of metastasization and poor prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer require suitable expertise in order to set up an appropriate and effective treatment plan for these patients. Our case describes the clinical history of a 63-year-old BRCA1/2 wild-type woman with excellent ECOG performance status and advanced PD-L1 negative breast cancer with brain, nodal and hepatic metastases. When occurred the brain progression within one year from neoadjuvant chemotherapy for a locally advanced tumor, the patient was treated with brain stereotaxis and a systemic platinum-based therapy that was not completed due to poor tolerance. Later instrumental examinations confirmed a new systemic and visceral progression, for which the patient underwent new therapy with sacituzumab govitecan (SG). During this treatment, we observed a reduction of the target liver and nodal lesions. The onset after several months of two very small cortico-subcortical metastases, on which stereotactic radiotherapy was performed, did not lead us to discontinuate the treatment, that was ongoing for another six months, with an excellent control both of brain and systemic disease without any symptoms, until a new disease progression at other sites requiring a therapeutic change. The use of antibody-drug conjugates allowed a significant prolongation of time to progression and overall survival in our clinical scenario characterized by poor prognosis due to early recurrence and brain involvement.
