Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical trials in oncology are still the most important method of improving our knowledge and guiding our daily clinical practice. During the last decade, the number of anticancer drugs, driven by molecularly targeted agents and immunotherapy, has grown exponentially. To date, drug innovation in oncology represents around 50% of the overall drug development in the world. Breast cancer is probably a good example of this dynamic.
The aim of this Special Issue on “Clinical Trials in Breast Cancer” is to describe the current landscape of clinical trials in surgery, radiotherapy, and medical treatments, to address methodological endpoints, and to understand how biomarkers and preclinical modelling can be better integrated.
Prof. Dr. Gilles Freyer
