Medical Therapy of Breast Cancer
There have been very significant advances across many areas of the study, investigation and treatment of breast cancer. This new publication brings these developments fully up to date and surveys how scientific advances have improved 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 includes chapters on the various therapeutic options available and their role in treating breast cancer at different stages. The volume concludes with a chapter on palliative care.
Key Features:
* Comprehensive account of all aspects of breast cancer management
* Extends from basic science to clinical practice
* Looks ahead at the prospects for emerging experimental strategies to become new therapeutic options
