Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Early detection of breast cancer improves prognosis and survival, with earlier-stage diagnoses supporting better outcomes. Treatment choice for early-stage breast cancer is commonly influenced by tumour expression of hormone receptors and HER2. Early-stage breast cancer treatment depends on tumour stage, pathological characteristics, biomarker expression, and patient preferences. Early-stage breast cancer treatment options span local therapies such as surgery and radiation, and systemic therapies including hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy.
