title: [Therapeutic strategies in the treatment of breast cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in women. The probability of being cured of this disease is below 50%. However, for certain stages of disease prognosis can be improved by the application of modern therapeutic strategies. The present paper deals firstly with the relationship between prognosis, staging, and tumour cell characteristics (receptor status and cell kinetic findings). Thereafter, selection and efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy and endocrine treatment is discussed and related to the prognostic different entities. The current therapeutic regimen of our group is outlined.
