Anti-VEGF therapy as adjuvant therapy: clouds on the horizon?

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Surgery is currently the definitive treatment for early-stage breast cancer. However, the rate of positive surgical margins remains unacceptably high. The human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) is a naturally occurring protein in human thyroid tissue, which enables cells to concentrate radionuclides. The hNI...
