title: Advances in diagnosis and therapies for breast cancer.
abstract: Major achievements in the field of breast cancer research have occurred in the last year. Improved treatment options with reduced toxicities, better methods of diagnosing disease at a low stage and determining women who are at genetic risk, and the prospect of breast cancer prevention will hopefully translate into further reductions in breast cancer incidence and mortality.
