Abstract: In this article the authors discuss the Epidemiological Study of Familial Breast Cancer (EMBRACE) study and facts regarding advanced breast cancer. The authors say that EMBRACE study is a phase three study which compares eribulin or treatment of physician's choice (TPC) for advanced breast cancer. They argue that the EMBRACE study shows that chemotherapy of breast cancer is improving and enhances the quality of life of cancer patients.
