Breast cancer treatment takes different approaches depending on the physical and biological characteristics of the disease as well as the age, overall health, and personal preferences of the patient. Treatment generally falls into local therapy, most effective for early-stage disease, and systemic treatment, used for advanced or metastatic disease or cases with particular biological characteristics, with the specific choice shaped by the tumor's characteristics and the patient's own circumstances.
