Breast cancer research has never been in such an exciting and
hopeful phase as today. From a clinical perspective, the discovery
of genetic markers of risk in a proportion of familial breast
cancer cases has opened up new vistas for understanding and
ultimately preventing this disease. On the other hand, aggressive -
even daring - therapies are being proven to be effective against
advanced breast cancer. For the breast cancer experimentalist, this
is also a time of great advance. Although animal and cell culture
breast cancer models have proven to be of great use, there are now
increasing opportunities to test the concepts developed in these
models in actual clinical samples and cases. It is gratifying to
see how well these concepts "translate" into the clinical setting.
A very active area of research that is linking the laboratory to
the clinic is the dissection of the biology and elucidation of the
significance of proliferate breast disease and the identification
of true, "high risk" or "preneoplastic" legions within the
previously ill-defined spectrum of fibrocystic or benign breast
disease. One anticipates that discoveries made here will also lead
to earlier detection, intervention and prevention of
life-threatening cancer.
Even, however, as we look with optimism to the eventual eradication
of breast cancer, we are once again forced to face the reality that
we have not yet achieved our goal. Thus, we are saddened by the
much too premature death of Dr. Helene Smith from breast cancer.
Helena's work was at the forefront of efforts to understand the
biology of human breast cancer at the molecular level. Her insight,
open-mindedness, and refusal to sacrifice relevance for convenience
will continue to set the standard for all breast cancer
researchers. This volume is dedicated to her memory.
