BCY 2 – Second Breast Cancer in Young Women Conference 4th–5th November 2014 Dublin, Ireland

[摘要] Breast cancer (BC) in women under 40 years of age is a complex disease which strikes in a phase of life when young women are at the peak of their reproductive years and when family planning, professional career, and partnership have a lot of importance. Furthermore, as young women are more likely to have a risk of a higher grade and stage of the disease, tumor biology at the time of diagnosis and genetic factors play an important role, medical treatment and consultation has to be well adapted to the needs of this population. So far, little is known about the etiology of breast cancer in young women and more research is needed to establish an optimal management of these patients.
