- Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer has rapidly evolved over the past 20 years. Starting in the 1980s, there have been important alterations in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, having an important impact on the diagnostic procedure employed by pathologists. Numerous studies in recent years have identified many prognostic and predictive factors for breast cancer. Most of them have been determined pathohistologically, which resulted in a large responsibility for pathologists, therefore the pathologist has become a key person in a multidisciplinary team of breast cancer and the person very responsible for the implementation of specific individual therapy.
