Imaging for early stage breast cancer

Interaction between local & systemic treatment

Early stage, low risk (DCIS; T1G1-2; T2G1) :

LC >>> DM: SX/RT



Early stage, high risk (T1G3; T2G2-3; N1a) :

 LC: SX/RT effect  by Syst.Th.  DM: Syst.Th.importance LC  : need for SX/RT

Late stage (T3-4; N2a-3) :

 importance of LC: SX/RT

DM >>> LC: Syst.Th.
