Study summary
This study aims to evaluate whether psychological status affects the response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and how it relates to immune changes during treatment. Participants will receive standard therapy, undergo psychological assessments, and provide blood and saliva samples for biomarker testing. By linking psychological status with immune profiles and treatment outcomes, the study seeks to clarify how mental state may influence immunotherapy effectiveness.

Inclusion Criteria：
Participants must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Age ≥ 18 years;
2. Female patients;
3. Voluntarily agrees to participate in the study and signs the informed consent form, with good compliance and willingness to complete follow-up assessments;
4. Histologically confirmed invasive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), defined as ER \< 1%, PR \< 1%, and HER-2 0-1+ by IHC, or HER-2 2+ with negative FISH/CISH results (no gene amplification);
5. Planned to receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy-based treatment as part of routine clinical care.
Exclusion Criteria
Patients will be excluded if any of the following conditions apply:
1. Presence of distant metastasis;
2. History of other malignancies, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or cancers with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years;
3. Participation in another clinical trial and receipt of an investigational drug or treatment within 30 days before initiation of neoadjuvant therapy;
4. Known immunodeficiency or HIV infection;
5. Severe cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or renal dysfunction;
6. Uncontrolled infection or active systemic infection;
7. Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
8. Severe psychological or cognitive impairment that precludes completion of psychological assessments.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate — At the time of definitive surgery Pathological complete response (pCR) is defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer in the breast and axillary lymph nodes (ypT0/Tis ypN0) after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. pCR will be assessed by investigators according to institutional pathology standards. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the association between patients' psychological status and pCR.
Event-Free Survival (EFS) — 18 Months Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from initiation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy until the date of one of the following events, whichever occurs first: disease recurrence, progression during neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, second primary malignancy, or death from any cause. Patients without an event at the end of follow-up will be censored at their last disease assessment. The study aims to investigate the relationship between baseline psychological status and long-term oncologic outcomes (EFS) in TNBC patients.
