Excerpt

Breast cancer is the second most frequent form of female cancer and a major source of cancer death worldwide. Although breast cancer has long been part of the human condition, appearing in the writings of ancient Egyptians, modern breast cancer shows a disturbing statistical increase from 1 per 20 women in the 1960s to one in eight today [1]. Although early detection by mammography and adjuvant therapies has improved survival, the absence of good prognostic criteria continues to result in overtreatment of patients with benign disease and failure to identify and eliminate the source of metastatic breast cancer. …
