Advances for Advanced Breast Cancer: New Therapies, New Hopes
Ernest Rosenbaum Survivorship Lecture Series 2017Cancer Supportive Care Program
Advanced breast cancer remains a serious disease, with ~40,000 American women dying of the disease every year. But it is also a disease where real progress has been made through improved understanding of the biology of breast cancer. Much of this improved knowledge comes from the realization that breast cancer is not just one disease, but many, each deserving of independent study and a focused approach. We will explain the new biology of breast cancer, and where current research is leading in terms of new therapies
