Abstract
Complex treatment of patients with breast carcinoma is used in the majority of cases. It includes local methods for primary tumor (surgery or radiotherapy) and system influence (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, etc.). Breast cancer treatment usually begins with surgery. Preoperative treatment permits to reduce the mass of the primary tumor and to suppress micrometastases, which are probable in some patients by the time of diagnosis. Despite a large number of clinical examinations concerning the efficacy of various schemes of treatment, there is no uniform guideline that yields the best results.
