Treatment of Metastasized Breast Cancer.

摘要

Metastatic spread is a fact in breast cancer: nearly 25% of women with breast cancer develop distant metastasis and at least 60% of breast cancers are hormone receptor-positive. These patients are commonly treated with endocrine therapy in addition to adjuvant treatment. In patients who do not respond to endocrine therapy, or in patients with hormone receptor-negative tumors, chemotherapy is the first choice of treatment.
