Abstract
"This book highlights up-to-date and novel information with clinical aspects regarding breast cancer. It covers aspects ranging from epidemiology, biology, and molecular classification to currently available and potentially new therapeutic options for breast cancer. It highlights insights into breast cancer at the molecular level with a holistic approach to use combinational strategies involving various therapies for targeting different pathways involved in this particular malignancy. This book contains a range of latest resources, including schematic illustrations, recent reviews, and information for patients with breast cancer. Various novel biomarkers that are under clinical investigation will also be discussed in this book. Furthermore, the relapse and recurrence after treatment with various therapies presents a great problem, as it develops resistance to which combinational strategy may prove to be a promising approach, and in this book, we have discussed all the aspects of combination therapy in breast cancer. People including students, research scholars, educators, pharmaceutical professionals, clinicians, researchers, practitioners and patients as well as their family members will find this book very much useful." --publisher
