New classification for advanced breast cancer patients experiencing disease progression during salvage treatment: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Attributed to inter-tumor heterogeneity, the therapeutic effect of salvage treatment is diverse and different malignant lesions might manifest various therapeutic responses among advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients. The present study aimed to explore the influence of the mode of lesion response on the subsequent treatment and to subclassify ABC patients for precise prognosis prediction.

Methods

Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, ABC patients were retrospectively collected and followed up in the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between 2018 and 2021. The treatment responses of all malignant lesions were evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria. Testing subclassified models w
