Translational Therapies
Knowledge of the basic biology underlying the development and progression of breast cancer is growing at a dramatic pace. This information is being rapidly translated from the lab to the clinic in the form of new diagnostic and prognostic tools and is providing new targets for drug development. Genomic tools are increasingly being utilized to categorize breast cancer into biologic subtypes, assess recurrence risk, and identify patients most likely to derive benefit from conventional chemotherapies and new targeted agents. In addition, technologies for detecting micrometastases, circulating tumor cells, and circulating endothelial calls are under investigation as tools for prognosticating outcomes and evaluating response to therapy. This expanding armamentarium of technologies will aid in the individualization and optimization of therapies in an environment of ever-growing treatment options.
