Interdisciplinary Approach in Breast Cancer

Breast cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous disease with different underlying genetic alterations and various patient manifestations. The disease management approach is going through a remarkable change from a one-size-fits-all setting to tailored therapy. Effective screening, early diagnosis, molecular profiling, new surgical techniques, and radiation therapies significantly improve BC management. This collaborative multidisciplinary approach through harmonizing and synthesizing links between symptoms and signs could elaborate the most effective therapeutic strategy at the best time! This chapter provides an overview of different areas of tailored therapy in BC patients with an interdisciplinary perspective. The following chapters of this volume will focus on more details of current therapeutic strategies.
