GILL D., BRUCE D. & TAN P.H. (2011) European Journal of Cancer Care 20 , 703–707 CONTROLLING THE COST OF BREAST CANCER Breast cancer management is an important part of the health‐care system. In the current harsh economic climate, these costs have to be controlled, and achieving this without compromising quality of care is a daunting challenge. This article discusses the need to find effective and well‐targeted chemotherapeutic regimens, which, when combined with appropriate implementation of novel strategies, will provide the optimum treatment for patients while maintaining economic viability.
