SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The main problems and results of the therapy given to high-risk breast cancer patients are reviewed in this volume by leading investigators. Their approach assumes that a quantitative assessment of the risk has been made at diagnosis, which permits selective therapies for individual patients. This is the most effective way to avoid overtreating the low-risk and undertreating the high-risk patient.
