Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common invasive neoplasm and the second most common cause of death from cancer in women. In breast cancer, local control is a function not only of the size of the tumour but also of associated features, e.g. satellite nodules, and a great majority of patients die with disseminated disease. For many years the standard treatment for breast cancer has been surgery, coupled with post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, where indicated. The use of radiotherapy has reduced the incidence of recurrence but there has been little effect on survival rates. Chemotherapy is also used to treat recurrent breast cancer but the use of these drugs has inherent problems. © Plenum Press
