Brief Summary  
The rising cancer burden globally in general and in India in particular is a significant health
concern. Breast cancer forms a majority of this burden in females of which triple negative
molecular subtype particularly shows poor response and increased relapse rates and distant
metastases after standard combined modality approach of surgery, chemotherapy and
radiotherapy . A number of drugs are being tried in neoadjuvant, adjuvant and metastatic settings in triple negative breast cancers to cater to the huge unmet need in treatment modalities that could be offered to this notorious entity. Most of these drugs, barring a few for neoadjuvant setting, have not been able to have an established role.
Capecitabine can be offered to most patients of triple negative breast cancers after standard
therapy, owing to its availability and affordability. Addition of metronomic capecitabine in
adjuvant setting after standard therapy in TNBC patients has potential particularly for developed countries like India. Ambala district has the second highest incidence of breast cancer in the state of Haryana and a single institution study from our institute showed the incidence of TNBC to be as high as 43%.
This study is being taken up to assess the tolerability of metronomic capecitabine as
maintenance therapy post standard therapy in non metastatic TNBC patients while establishing the disease free survival of these patients.
