Introduction. Triple- negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis and high risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR).Aim of the Study. Is to examine the impact of type of surgery on locoregional recurrence in women with early- stage invasive triplenegative breast cancer (TNBC).Materials and Methods.

Patients after BCT have a higher locoregional recurrence rates compared to mastectomy, but this did not reach statistical significance. According to our study data BCT is not a contraindication in the TNBC.
