Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. It usually presents with a lump in the breast with or without other manifestations. Diagnosis of breast cancer depends on physical examination, mammographic findings and biopsy results. Treatment of breast cancer depends on the stage of the disease. Lines of treatment include mainly surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Other lines including immunotherapy, thermochemotherapy and alternative medicine may represent a hope for breast cancer patients.
