Local and Systemic Management of Primary Breast Cancers Masakazu Toi and Eric P. Winer (eds)

Making a consensus on “local and systemic management” – Based on Kyoto Breast Cancer Consensus Conference 2009 (April), Local and Systemic Management of Primary Breast Cancers, edited as an academic handbook, covers cutting-edge treatments on breast cancer with the best expertise from the world. Local and systemic management approach to breast cancer enables concerning clinical physicians to provide patients with the optimal treatment. The volume wraps up well-balanced correspondence of detailed follow-ups to clinical data in 9 chapters with its deliberative process (from questionnaires, voting results to succeeding discussion) appended to each session.

Recommendation

"With over 10 years experience in preoperative therapy, the KBCCC editors of Local and Systemic Management of Primary Breast Cancers provide a comprehensive viewpoint on preoperative therapy and offer guidance to clinicians for patient management as well as outline important areas of controversy that require further research."

----Dr. V. Suzanne Klimberg, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, USA

"The two editors of this comprehensively peer-reviewed material have succeeded in integrating local management to the framework of systemic management. Local and Systemic Management of Primary Breast Cancers is highly recommended not only for physicians who major in the study of breast cancer, but also oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and interns who seek to major in the study of breast cancer."

----Dr. Tadashi Ikeda, Teikyo University, Japan

"A book that breast cancer clinicians should have on their book shelves.
This book covers a range of interesting topics including systemic treatment, novel therapies against HER-2 and other biomarkers, discussion on optimal local therapy after neoadjuvant therapy and post-neoadjuvant treatment options for those with residual disease. It is the conjoint efforts from a group of world experts sharing also the valuable Asian perspectives and experiences on breast cancer."

----Dr. Louis W.C. Chow, OOTR, Hong Kong
