Summary
Breast cancer is the most common cancer disease in women worldwide, being also the third most common incident cancer overall, with a global estimated of 1.7 million new diagnosed cases per year during 2016 [1]. Fortunately, modern breast cancer treatment achieves a high rate of cure and long-term survival today and improved survival has been continuously observed over the last 50 years, from a 50% 10-year survival in the 1960s up to 80% during the 2010s []. In general, survival of women with a breast cancer treated at early stages 0–1 reaches nearly 100%, whereas it approaches about 80%, 60%, or 20% when the disease is treated in a stages 2, 3, or 4, respectively [2].
Although breast cancer is the most common cancer presenting in women of reproductive age, only 2% of all breast cancers occur in young adult women between 20 and 34 years of age and 11% in women between 35 and 44 years of age [3].
