DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY BREAST TUMORS CHARACTERISTICS IN PATIENTS WITH BONE METASTASIS
Abstract
Breast cancer is a severe disease with high morbidity and mortality affecting both women and men from all around the world. When it does not get diagnosed in early stages it metastasizes to other organs and tissues, thus becoming incurable. In addition, between 25-50% of patients will suffer from a metastatic development after the initial treatment. The most common locations are the bones, the liver, the lungs and the nervous system. The current research is an analysis of the molecular, macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of tumors in a cohort of 67 female patients with bone metastases from an initial breast neoplasm.
