[Current trends in the treatment of breast cancer]
Abstract:
Main trends in treatment of breast cancer patients are reviewed. Application of "inadequate" methods, such as radiation therapy or chemo-hormonotherapy alone, dropped from 16.2% in 1970 to 12.5% in 1977. This tendency is matched by an increasing application of combination therapy including remote gamma-therapy and megavolt radiation therapy (17.7% in 1970 v. 29.0% in 1977). Combination therapy including irradiation, surgery and chemo-and/or hormonotherapy is on upgrade; it was given to 31.2% of breast cancer patients in 1977.

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...
