Abstract:
To achieve optimum quality of care for women with breast cancer in the UK, uniformity of care in accordance with consensus guidelines is needed. This review highlights variations in provision of care for women with breast cancer, with particular emphasis on care received in the UK, examines differences in survival, and discusses the factors that may underlie these differences. Strong variation in treatment was identified, which appeared to affect survival significantly. These findings reinforce the need for women with breast cancer to be treated by dedicated specialists working within a multidisciplinary team to provide a high standard of care.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
