ABSTRACT
The majority of breast cancers are actually diagnosed at an early stage. Selection of the best treatment in the adjuvant setting represents a paramount step to reduce the risk of recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. At the present time decision making is based on individualized risk assessment, that takes into account patient and tumor clinical-pathological characteristics. New available tools, such as gene expression profiling, offer the potential to provide accurate prognostic and predictive information, but they require further validation. The present article provides an overview of current strategies in adjuvant breast cancer setting, and addresses a number of unresolved questions related to the role of taxanes, trastuzumab and hormonal treatment.
