Description: "There used to be limited therapeutic options for women who developed metastatic breast cancer. However, recent development with novel systemic drugs and palliative surgical techniques, together with advances in diagnostic imaging, have given new hope for these patients and made the treatment of these patients considerably more challenging. One convenient source bringing together the various relevant aspects is long overdue. This handbook covers treatment for both the cancer and the complications that can arise from treatment itself"--Provided by publisher.
