Priorities for the primary prevention of breast cancer
Cet article passe en revue les stratégies de prévention primaire du cancer du sein, analyse les raisons d'une sous-utilisation de la chimioprévention chez les femmes à haut risque ainsi que la façon dont les recherches sur la prévention doivent prendre en compte l'hétérogénéité moléculaire de la maladie
Despite recent calls to intensify the search for new risk factors for breast cancer, acting on information that we already have could prevent thousands of cases each year. This article reviews breast cancer primary prevention strategies that are applicable to all women, discusses the underutilization of chemoprevention in high-risk women, highlights the additional advances that could be made by including young women in prevention efforts, and comments on how the molecular heterogeneity of breast cancer affects prevention research and strategies.
