Breast Cancer Treatment: An Interdisciplinary Approach

There are different types of treatment for breast cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Deciding on the types of treatment depends on several factors, such as the stage and grade of cancer, biomarkers, and general health of patients.

The seventh volume of the Interdisciplinary Cancer Research series, entitled Breast Cancer Treatment: An Interdisciplinary Approach publishes comprehensive reviews on different treatment opportunities on breast cancer. An update on treatment of triple-negative breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ is provided. Ablative breast cancer surgery, radiotherapy, and percutaneous breast cancer treatment are explained. Promising hormone immunotherapy combination as well as targeted therapies for breast cancer is also discussed. This interdisciplinary series is of special value to researchers working on oncology. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value to researchers and oncologists who wish to extend their knowledge on breast cancer treatment.

Describes interdisciplinary approaches to breast cancer treatment Includes a comprehensive coverage of targeted therapy of breast cancer Contains updated reviews on breast cancer hormone therapy
