Judith Ben-Dror, Michal Shalamov, Amir Sonnenblick
Abstract
"The story of cancer is the story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception" (Siddhartha Mukherjee). The present review discusses the evolution of early breast cancer (BC) treatment philosophy in the last 50 years and the shift from an emphasis on local therapy to an emphasis on systemic precision treatment options.
