This book examines aspects of human breast cancer including: the mechanism involved in carcinogenesis; the relationship among a fetus, pregnancy, and breast cancer; the control of proliferation in the normal and neoplastic breast; prognostic and predictive factors; the inhibition of cell growth and the induction of apoptosis; the importance of the estrogen receptor; the SEEM (selective estrogen enzyme modulators), including the aromatase inhibitors and their clinical applications; the SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulators); the importance of cathepsin D; recent developments in endocrine treatment; the relationship among hormone replacement therapy, the menopause, and breast cancer; the adjuvant treatment of premenopausal women; cytotoxic therapy and other nonhormonal approaches for the treatment of metastases; management of locally advanced breast cancer; therapeutic applications of angiogenesis; the role of phytoestrogens in breast cancer; and the importance of BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 in hereditary breast cancer.

In conclusion, this book provides very recent information on a wide range of aspects of breast cancer and is useful for oncologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, general clinicians, biologists, physiologists, and advanced students.
