Advances in Adjuvant Chemotherapy of Early Stage Breast Cancer

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 141))

Breast cancer is an increasing global public health burden with more than one million new cases anticipated worldwide1 and more than 200,000 new cases anticipated in the United States in 2007 (www.cancer.org). Early stage disease accounts for an increasing proportion of these incident breast cancer diagnoses, largely as a result of improvements in public education, screening programs, technology and treatment However, despite the increasing proportion of early stage diagnoses, a significant proportion of women will experience a distant relapse leading to death from recurrence-related complications. These distant treatment failures indicate that some women have clinically undetectable micrometastatic disease at diagnosis which cannot be cured with locoregional therapy alone. Systemic chemotherapy aimed at eradicating these clinically occult micrometases is thus an integral component of the adjuvant treatment strategy for many women with early stage disease. Over the last several decades, investigators have endeavored to optimize disease specific outcomes and thus, improve patient survival through therapeutic innovation, while minimizing treatment-related toxicity. These efforts have manifested as refinements of the adjuvant chemotherapy prescription; innovations in scheduling, drug delivery and dosing; and the incorporation of biologic/targeted therapies. Specific advances in the adjuvant chemotherapy strategy for women with early stage breast cancer will be reviewed here.
