Abstract
SUMMARY As the treatment of metastatic breast cancer improves, women are living longer with progressive disease. However, the care and support services for this population have not kept pace with the developments in medical management. In 2006, Breast Cancer Care (UK) established the Secondary Breast Cancer Taskforce, which comprised of healthcare professionals, policy makers and women with metastatic breast cancer. It aimed to identify and address the needs of women with metastatic breast cancer. This article reports on the progress to date and future service developments needed to ensure all women with metastatic breast cancer receive the care and support they need to live with progressive breast cancer throughout the illness trajectory from diagnosis until the end of life.
