Long-term treatment patterns and survival in metastatic breast cancer by intrinsic subtypes - an observational cohort study in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Longitudinal, real-world data on the management of metastatic breast cancer is increasingly relevant to understand breast cancer care in routine clinical practice. Yet such data are scarce, particularly beyond second- and third-line treatment strategies. This study, therefore, examined both the long-term treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) in a regional Swedish cohort of female patients with metastatic breast cancer stratified by subtype in routine clinical practice during a recent eight-year period and correlation to current treatment guidelines.

Methods

Consecutive female patients with metastatic breast cancer  clinically managed at Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden, during 2009-2016 and followed until the end of September, 2017 (n = 370) wer
