The areas which appear particularly important for possible clinical application are many and diversified. In this review we will update the present knowledge regarding four major issues: 1) biologic and molecular tests of prognostic significance in operable breast cancer patients; 2) detection of breast cancer cells in the bone marrow; 3) the endocrine aspects of breast cancer treatment; and 4) the indication of conservative treatments. | lld:pubmed |
