Abstract

Adjuvant therapy in the treatment of breast cancer commonly refers to therapies that supplement primary treatment, traditionally mastectomy and, more recently, breast-conserving surgery. The present paper examines the evolution of systemic therapies and radiotherapy in their role as adjuvants to mastectomy, and offers a brief description of current treatment regimens for early and locally advanced disease.
