It is also becoming a substantial problem in the developing countries. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women in the United States. In spite of the fact than 90% of the patients are diagnosed at early stages of the disease, more that 50% will eventually die of this disease. Over the last two decades, significant advances in the treatment in breast cancer with systemic adjuvant therapies have taken place. Because of the high incidence of breast cancer, these advances in the efficacy of treatment in breast cancer represent thousands of lives saved every year. This article summarizes the current status and controversies of adjuvant systemic therapy of breast cancer. 1.
