| Abstract: | The management of locally advanced breast cancer with single modality therapy has been associated with a high rate of systemic failure. A multimodality treatment strategy that includes induction cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and, possibly, hormonal ablation therapy is the current preferred management approach. As our knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms involved in mitogenic signal transduction improve, it is likely that less toxic, more effications agents will emerge. © 1994 Société Internationale de Chirurgie. |
