Produktbeschreibung

Recent developments with novel systemic drugs, palliative surgical techniques, and diagnostic imaging have given hope for the treatment of patients whose breast cancer has spread beyond its primary tumor. Written by a team from leading cancer centers in Europe, including the UK's Royal Marsden Hospital, this book provides advanced scientific information and guidance on clinical problems associated with metastatic breast cancer. It discusses endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted biologics, and bisphosphonates. It covers diagnostic imaging and tumor assessment; reviews management options for neurological, pulmonary, hepatic and orthopedic complications; and discusses palliative care.
