内容説明
In recent years, rapid development and radical changes have occurred in the field of breast cancer research and treatment. Written by a group of internationally respected researchers and physicians, this book reviews the information currently available, identifies areas of controversy and speculates on how the subject may develop in the next decade. All aspects of breast cancer are covered, with sections focusing on biological controversies, the role of prognostic factors, early detection and prevention, systematic management in early disease and improving the quality of care for breast cancer patients. In summary, the book provides an up-to-date review of the innovative work that is currently being undertaken and introduces possible new management strategies.
