The progress observed in recent years in the treatment of breast cancer is associated with a deepening understanding of the complex biology of this disease. Molecular genetic testing made it possible to characterize several pathogenetic subtypes of cancer, which differ in prognosis and response to various types of systemic treatment (chemotherapy, endocrinotherapy and the so-called targeted therapy). Local (surgical and radial) treatment was also significantly improved: organ -preserving operations began to prevail and the quality of surgical effects increased.
