Content Summary :
• Nearly 90% of women diagnosed with breast cancer will survive their disease at least 5 years. • Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) followed by local radiation therapy replaced mastectomy as the preferred surgical approach for treating women with early stage breast cancer. • Routine mammographic screening is an accepted standard for the early detection of breast cancer. The results of eight randomized trials and of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Projects established that mammographic screening can reduce mortality from breast cancer. • Combination chemotherapy became standard in the adjuvant treatment of women with early stage breast cancer. The goal of this systemic therapy is to eradicate cancer cells that may have spread beyond the breast. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or chemotherapy given before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor and to increase the chance of breast-conserving surgery, is being studied in clinical trials.
