Abstract

Advances in research have a highly influential role to play in the strategy of early detection, treatment and aftercare of breast cancer and therefore everyday clinical practice. Newly-defined prognosis factors and a new form of molecular subtype classification, for example, are intended to help identify patients who will actually benefit from chemotherapy. In the field of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the inclusion of the angiogenesis inhibitor Bevacizumab and dual antiHER2 therapy is being discussed. What's more, where defined criteria are met, even with positive sentinel lymph nodes, axillary dissection is not performed; besides bisphosphonates RANKL antibody Denosumab is now an option in the treatment of bone metastases.
