Rare Breast Tumors

This special issue belongs to the section “Cancer Therapy“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In most common types of breast cancer, such as no special type and invasive lobular carcinoma, the therapeutic approach is generally well defined. However, rare breast tumors, accounting for less than 2% of all breast cancer cases, present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Because of their rarity, data on prognosis and evidence-based recommendations are lacking and there are no randomized studies to define the optimal neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment.

The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight breast tumors with rare histology, with a focus on clinical and pathological characteristics as well as responses to different therapeutic strategies. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
