Breast Cancer: Scientific and Clinical Progress Proceedings of the Biennial Conference for the International Association of Breast Cancer Research, Miami, Florida, USA — March 1–5, 1987

Effective control of breast cancer depends on three types of research accomplishment -- understanding the disease's origins and progression: successfully applying this knowledge to methods of detection, diagnosis and treatment: and finding ways to make these advances truly available to the publ...
