Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is a common but heterogeneous disease, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to personalize its management. Recent advances have occurred across the whole spectrum of treatments. Surgical treatments include less invasive techniques, de-escalation of radical operations, and oncoplastic techniques. Systemic treatments adopt a more targeted approach given the discovery of a plethora of biomarkers and targeted agents. This Special Issue will highlight these advances, an appraisal of their evidence and applications in current and future clinical practices.
