Characteristics and survival in bone metastatic breast cancer patients with different hormone receptor status: A population-based cohort study

Although collectively viewed as HR-positive breast cancers, certain distinctions exist between bone metastatic breast cancers with different HR statuses in survival outcome. Our findings indicate that despite metastasizing to the same location, the different survival rate is determined by the HR status of breast cancer. The selection and intensity of the regimen should consider HR status, and HER2 status occasionally, when treating bone metastatic breast cancer.
