Each year, about 200,000 women in the United States undergo therapy for breast cancer - but are they receiving the most effective treatment? In the past, management focused on aggressive local surgery, but current strategies emphasize earlier systemic treatment. This article discusses four important recent developments in early breast cancer management that can help reduce risk of subsequent metastasis and improve survival.
