[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with metastatic breast cancer have a wide number of treatment options, including medical, surgical, and supportive care measures. Treatment decisions are based in predictive and prognostic factors and the informed choice of the patients. SEOM has elaborated these guidelines with evidence-based recommendations for the diagnostic work-up, treatment (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapies) and supportive care for the management of these patients.Clinical and Translational Oncology 11/2010; 12(11):719-23. · 1.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Current controversies in the management of breast cancer.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The following manuscript summarises the content of the Breast Symposium that was held in May 2008 in Barcelona in which four controversies regarding the management of breast cancer were discussed. The design of the symposium included two speakers per controversy, one in favour and one diverging, and the audience had to vote before and after the presentations to assess changes in the participants' views. The four controversies included: (1) the role of non-conventional predictive factors in selecting treatment for breast cancer; (2) the role of surgery in disseminated disease; (3) are taxanes indicated in the adjuvant treatment of patients with lymph-node-negative disease?; (4) is treatment with tamoxifen (TAM) always required after surgery in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)? The symposium concluded with the presentation titled: 'Features of a well designed clinical trial in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer'.Clinical and Translational Oncology 04/2010; 12(4):278-86. · 1.33 Impact Factor
