Initiated by the Breast Cancer International Research Group (BCIRG), this book begins with a discussion of clinical trials and how to evaluate clinical evidence, then presents reviews of the available data for a variety of treatment modalities: chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy, hormone therapy, biological response modifiers, surgical treatment (special issues), radiation therapy, supportive therapy, and prognostic/predictive factors. The final sections cover integration of new therapies into breast cancer management, issues of neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced or inflammatory disease, the controversial problem of DCIS and LCIS, and the Internet, health professionals and the health consumer.
