Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) epidemic is recognized now worldwide as the reality of the early twenty-first century. Increasing trends in the postmenopausal BC prevalence, even for the European countries earlier demonstrating relatively stable incidence rates of the disease, are highly alarming for the healthcare givers. This new actuality requires a substantial revision of the paradigm currently applied to the BC management and creation of highly innovative concepts. Current multi-centered study highlights new complex mechanisms of the development and progression of the postmenopausal BC. Innovative concepts are presented which argue for more effective predictive and preventive approaches well justified in view of the clusters of the symptoms analysed here and demonstrated
as highly prevalent in the postmenopausal breast cancer versus BC-free individuals. Another conceptual novelty
presented here is a new interpretation of the Seed and Soil theory of metastasis in BC. According to the new concept, the pre-metastatic niches (Soil) are created by a systemic hypoxia a long time before the breast malignancy is clinically manifested.
