Abstract excerpt
In the past 30 years, important advances have been made in the knowledge of breast cancer biology and in the treatment of the disease. However, the translation of these advances into clinical practice has been slow. With the advent of molecular-based medicine, it is hoped that the bridge between the bench and the bedside will continue to be shortened. Because breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with...
