ABSTRACT

The Breast Cancer community witnessed the presentation of several important studies though 2018. From molecular evaluation of primary breast tissue to predict chemotherapy benefit, to major advances in systemic therapy in the metastatic setting, clinical trials highlighted in this BJO especial edition have truly major impact in current clinical practice for breast cancer patients.

RESUMO

A comunidade de câncer de mama testemunhou a apresentação de vários estudos importantes em 2018. Desde a avaliação molecular do tecido mamário primário para predizer o benefício da quimioterapia, até grandes avanços na terapia sistémica no cenário metastático. Os ensaios clínicos destacados nesta edição especial do BJO têm um impacto realmente importante na prática clínica atual para pacientes com câncer de mama.
