Projected Breast Cancer Advancements in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Care

Treatment of breast cancer includes chemotherapy, oncoplastic surgery, targeted therapy drugs, and more. Currently, researchers are looking into:

• Identifying the most significant long-term and short-term side effects from chemotherapy and when it is necessary to undergo chemo
• Introducing different tests to determine which patients would benefit from chemotherapy and which patients can avoid it
• Combining cancer surgery and plastic surgery techniques in hopes of reshaping the breast at the time of the initial surgery, such as mastectomy
• Identifying potential drugs, such as kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy, for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancers
• Identifying targeted therapies, such as PARP inhibitors, for the treatment of some types of breast cancers
