PY - 2010 T2 - Kuerer's Breast Surgical Oncology AB - In 2008, an estimated 184,450 new cases of breast cancer will occur in the United States.1 In the same year, it is estimated that almost 41,000 women will die of breast cancer. These numbers demonstrate the impact of breast cancer among American women, but they cannot begin to address the diversity and complexity of the treatment of this malignancy. As research and advances in the care of the breast cancer patient occur, the need for greater understanding of the tenets and principles of clinical decision-making in the treatment of breast cancer increases.
