- Abstract
Breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most common cause of cancer deaths, worldwide. Early breast cancers are treatment sensitive and patients under standardized treatment have prolonged. Breast cancer treatment has significantly evolved from the conventional surgical approach and radiotherapy to local and systemic adjuvant therapies. Though localized breast cancers are clinically manageable, distant recurrence is a cause of morbid concern. Adjuvant systemic therapy is effective in both distant and local recurrences and hence gained significant attention. Early breast cancer prognosis has greatly improved in the past 3 decades with reduced mortality rates due to the widespread use of adjuvant therapy. It can markedly increase the cure rate of breast cancers, and postoperative adjuvant therapy became a part of comprehensive breast cancer treatment. Further research to understand the early breast cancer characteristics could expand the treatment modalities that can improve the outcomes and survival benefits of breast cancer patients.
