Breast Cancer Treatment and Research

Breast cancer includes several biologically distinct diseases. Treatment planning takes into account tumor size, lymph node involvement, hormone receptor status, HER2 expression, molecular findings, and whether the disease is localized or metastatic.

Medical oncology can involve treatment before surgery, after surgery, or for advanced disease. Depending on the case, systemic therapy may include chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted treatment, or immunotherapy for selected patients.

Prof. Martín has contributed to clinical research in breast cancer, including work on treatment strategies and the development of clinical evidence to guide patient care. His research activities have been associated with the Spanish breast cancer research network GEICAM, which he helped establish and develop.
