We are now beginning to understand that biological subtypes of breast cancer may have different risks of recurrence as well as different intrinsic sensitivity to radiotherapy. Multi-gene arrays that have for years been used to predict the risk of distant recurrence and the value of systemic chemotherapy may also have utility in predicting the risk of local recurrence. Additionally, the targeted agents used to treat breast cancer may interact with radiotherapy in ways that can be beneficial or undesirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of these emerging issues of central importance to radiation oncologists are extensively discussed in this book, and practical treatment recommendations based on available clinical evidence are presented whenever possible. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274066813079,"sku":"9783662520741","price":5141.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662520741.webp?v=1769238664","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/breast-cancer-biology-for-the-radiation-oncologist-9783662520741","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
