Abstract
Background: Surgery to the primary tumour in women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has traditionally been reserved for palliative purposes, and European guidelines suggest it should be performed on an individualised basis1. A lack of consensus on the effectiveness of a procedure can lead to treatment variation in clinical practice. We examined what proportion of women with MBC aged 50+yrs received surgery to the primary tumour, and explored what patient and clinical characteristics influence receipt of surgery, as part of the National Audit of Breast Cancer in Older Patients (NABCOP).
