Advances in diagnosis and therapies for breast cancer.
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.
