Proven success in using medical therapies allowing for breast conserving procedures or reducing risk of occurrence. Although there has been much progress towards a cure, including the introduction of new targeted therapies, metastasizing cancer remains highly incurable.

In this text leading investigators in the field discuss current management and critical investigative issues." Steven T. Rosen, M.D. Series Editor.
