F1000Prime Reports is an open-access review journal that expands on the recommended literature coverage of F1000Prime by publishing unique, peer-reviewed reports to provide context on emerging themes in biology and medicine.

For this month’s featured F1000Prime Report, we’ve selected a review of where we stand to date in terms of the advances made and challenges remaining in the screening and management of breast cancer. Despite how far medical science has come in recent years, this condition remains the leading cause of cancer in women, with the most recent World Health Organization report stating that 25% of cancers in women worldwide are of this type.

This authoritative review on the subject was written by Dr Larry Norton and colleagues from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and takes a look at “how our increased insight into the underlying biology of breast cancer has influenced our efforts to individualize patient care”.
