Abstract A major question in oncology today concerns the most appropriate therapy for locally advanced breast cancer. Realistic goals include effective local treatment and a prolonged disease-free interval for these patients, most of whom have incurable disease. Here, our panel discusses the roles of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, and the proper sequencing of these modalities.
