Abstract
The aim of comprehensive treatment of breast cancer is the permanent cure of the patient and the elimination of micrometastases. Treatment includes surgery, systemic adjuvant / neoadjuvant treatment, and radiotherapy.
Patients receive cytostatic treatment, targeted therapy, and/or hormonal therapy. Subsequently, radiotherapy is indicated according to the extent of surgery and definitive histological examination.
Prior to initiation of therapy, histological verification and assessment of the extent of the disease must be performed with all basic predictive and prognostic factors determined. Assessment of the disease state by a multidisciplinary team is essential to select the optimal treatment, obtain maximum benefit and minimize risks.
