Description
Advanced breast cancer is one of the greatest concerns in present day medicine, specifically in the field of oncology, as it includes a wide spectrum of clinical scenarios. In the majority of cases, the disease finally causes death, making it a very important challenge for the responsible physician. Investigators often differ in their definition of “advanced breast cancer”. With respect to treatment, the primary objectives are symptom relief and maintenance of the quality of life; it is therefore important to keep in mind that the therapy used must be well-tolerated in order to achieve patient compliance and, thus, within its possibilities, success of the treatment. An increasing number of research programs related to endocrine therapy for this type of cancer are being registered. Although these studies have not reached their conclusion, the favorable tolerance profile of the drugs used has made this treatment the therapeutic option of choice for advanced breast cancer.
