Triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) is one of the most challenging subtypes of breast carcinoma and it has very limited therapeutic options as it is highly aggressive. The prognostic biomarkers are crucial for early diagnosis of the tumor, it also helps in anticipating the trajectory of the illness and optimizing the therapy options. Several therapeutic biomarkers are being used. Among them, the next-generation biomarkers that include Circulating tumor (ct) DNA, glycogen, lipid, and exosome biomarkers provide intriguing opportunities for enhancing the prognosis of TNBC. Lipid and glycogen biomarkers serve as essential details on the development of the tumor along with the efficacy of the treatment, as it exhibits metabolic alteration linked to TNBC. Several types of biomarkers have predictive abilities in TNBC. Elevated levels are associated with worse outcomes. ctDNA being a noninvasive biomarker reveals the genetic composition of the tumor, as well as helps to monitor the progression of the disease. Traditional therapies are ineffective in TNBC due to a lack of receptors, targeted drug delivery provides a tailored approach to overcome drug resistance and site-specific action by minimizing the side effects in TNBC treatment. This enhances therapeutic outcomes against the aggressive nature of breast cancer. This paper includes all the recent biomarkers which has been researched so far in TNBC and the state of art for TNBC which is explored.
