The Lancet - Breast Cancer Series 2016

08.12.2016

The introduction of targeted therapies has profoundly changed the course of some subtypes of breast cancer—but many challenges remain. The Lancet’s 2016 Series on breast cancer discusses the most recent advances in the three most common breast cancer subtypes. The first pair of papers focus on the treatment of advanced oestrogen-receptor-positive and HER2-positive breast cancers, while the third describes how an improved understanding of molecular alterations in the heterogeneous and hard-to-treat triple-negative breast cancer may lead to more refined and more effective therapy. http://www.thelancet.com/series/breast-cancer-2016
