Summary
Breast Cancer is a public health issue worldwide. The time from diagnosis to treatment
initiation varies from country to country and regionally within a country. Early diagnosis
and prompt treatment initiation are key factors in patient survival rates.
Currently there is a rising trend, with a high percentage of patients with "Luminal" like
breast cancer only undergoing adjuvant endocrine therapy.
Authors argue that tumor biology alterations after introducing very early endocrine therapy
might have a prognostic and therapeutic impact and should be studied.
