摘要

Despite advances over the last decades in diagnosing and treating breast cancer (using local-regional modalities, adjuvant cytotoxic and/or hormonal treatments and, more recently, targeted therapies) that resulted – since the early nineties – in decreased mortality, it remains a major public health problem, with an increasing incidence in Western countries. Major unresolved clinical and scientific problems (in addition to causes for increasing incidence, strategies of prevention, specific, sensitive and possibly non-invasive approaches for early diagnosis) are related to i) disease progression (impact of tumor biology, role of microenvironment and identification of solid and reliable predictive biomolecular tools); ii) treatment (who needs it and what is the best/optimal for subsets or individual patients); iii) resistance and toxicity to clinical treatments (how to predict, prevent and overcome them). Recently, top-notch quality technical approaches for comprehensive molecular analyses offered a new way to classify human breast cancer and now offer a paradigm shift for reducing disease complexity, unraveling biologic heterogeneity (that represents one of the major constraints to the resolution of clinicobiologic problems) and thus better identifying those patients that will present with new disease manifestations for a rational planning of therapeutic strategies.
