Molecular biology of breast cancer. Meeting report

In this intense meeting many exciting new molecular approaches and findings in breast cancer were presented. Although much remains to be done it was obvious that a remarkable progress has been achieved and the field of molecular biology of cancer will continue to provide new information and understanding regarding the complex nature of neoplastic disease in the breast. Some of these findings will possibly lead to better diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Abstracts presented at the Lillehammer meeting have been published in Breast Cancer Research 2, 2000, and can be found at http://breast-cancer-research.com
