Medical Therapy of Breast Cancer

This new publication discusses the significant advances in the study, investigation and treatment of breast cancer and surveys how scientific advances have influenced, improved, and extended modern therapeutic options. The volume spans prevention, screening, genetics, and treatment of pre-invasive breast cancer, before focusing in depth on modern management of established breast cancer. This volume includes chapters on the various therapeutic options available and their role in treating breast cancer from the very earliest stage through to advanced and metastatic breast cancer, as well as a chapter on palliative care. In addition, the text looks forward at the potential for emerging experimental strategies to become adopted into medical management in the future.
