How to treat advanced breast cancer?

Breast cancer, as one of the most serious breast diseases, poses a great threat to women's health.

The toxic and side effects of endocrine therapy are significantly reduced compared with chemotherapy, which is conducive to consolidation treatment. The patients have a high quality of life.
