In recent years, with the increasing development of global precision medicine, single-cell sequencing (SCS) has become one of the most promising technologies in the field of biotechnology. Moreover, the related application of this technology in TNBC has been applied and developed. By using SCS to study the heterogeneity of TNBC tumor cells, metastasis, drug resistance mechanisms, mutations, and cloning; it can further guide clinical chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. To further reflect the importance of SCS in TNBC, this paper elaborated on and summarized the research and application progress of SCS in TNBC.Keywords: TNBC, SCS, heterogeneity, drug resistance, metastasis
