Despite recent advances in breast cancer research, we still know little about the mechanisms that lead to metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, treatment options for patients have increased based on results of recent randomized clinical trials in this setting. Today we have much hope, yet many questions remain unanswered. Conducting a fully academic and international study such as AURORA is very challenging, yet ever more crucial to advancing knowledge about MBC.
尽管乳腺癌研究最近取得了进展,但我们对导致转移性乳腺癌(MBC)的机制仍知之甚少。然而,基于近期该领域随机临床试验的结果,患者的治疗选择有所增加。如今我们满怀希望,但仍有许多问题未得到解答。开展像AURORA这样全面的学术性国际研究极具挑战性,但对于推进MBC相关知识而言却愈发关键。
