$2.5 Million Department of Defense Grant Funds Development of Targeted Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer cell

Weill Cornell Medicine has received a $2.5 million, three-year grant from the Department of Defense (DoD) to develop therapies with fewer side effects for triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat breast cancers. The highly competitive DoD Breast Cancer Research Program Breakthrough Award supports innovative projects with strong potential to transform breast cancer treatment.

Triple-negative breast cancer lacks three proteins—estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER2—that many of today's targeted therapies attack, leaving many patients limited to chemotherapy as their primary treatment option.
