Systemic treatments (chemotherapy or hormone therapy) given before surgery to reduce tumor size, potentially allowing for breast-conserving surgery instead of a full mastectomy. Key Reference Documents (PDF)
The locoregional treatment of breast cancer involves managing the tumor at its site and in the surrounding lymph nodes, primarily through surgery and radiotherapy. Research and institutional guidelines emphasize a shift toward —reducing the invasiveness of treatments while maintaining clinical efficacy. Core Surgical Approaches
