Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer, in which cells lack the expression of estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptors, is a clinical subtype of breast cancer commonly associated with poor prognosis. It tends to be aggressively metastatic with a high recurrence rate and little response to standard chemotherapy [1]. Mounting evidence suggests that one triggering event in oncogenic transformation is an imbalance in acid-base homeostasis, with an increase in intracellular pH and acidification of the extracellular tumor microenvironment [2].
