Adjuvant Therapy for Breast Cancer

Abstract

Substantial progress has been made in the diagnosis and management of primary breast cancer over the past three decades. As a result, mortality related to this disease has been decreasing gradually for several years, treatment has become more effective, and side effects and complications related to treatment have decreased. In this report, we review the state of adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.
