Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in
women, accounting for 30% of new cancer cases, and leads to the highest
proportion (15%) of cancer deaths.1 Surgical resection is the cornerstone of
treatment with curative intent for patients with non-metastatic breast cancer,

invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS]), to reduce the risk of
further disease spread, including local and distant recurrence.
