Despite the remarkable enhancements in breast cancer classification and characterization,
an exhaustive comprehension of the underlying carcinogenic processes and an accurate
prediction of its clinical behavior are yet to be achieved. On the wave of recent scientific
advances and clinical findings, new cutting-edge technologies are poised to deliver an array
of diverse molecular data that are expected to dramatically alter breast cancer diagnosis and
treatment.
