Optimal Management of Primary Breast Cancer.
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have changed in response to not only new technologies but also cultural and social aspects of the disease. While breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant therapy are the preferred treatments for many breast cancers, neoadjuvant therapy is often used in advanced disease. In this review we examine the treatment options that are influenced by pathologic and clinical factors. Invasive breast cancer is a potentially curable disease if it is regarded and managed by a multidisciplinary approach from the outset.
