We analyzed overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), first-line treatment choice (ET vs CT), and which factors were related with this choice. Results: Of 129 p. dnMBC, 84 p. luminal-like were identified. Median age 66.2 years (SD 14.43). Ductal carcinoma 69p. (82%), luminal B like 50p. (59.5%), only bone and...
