Abstract Purpose: Decisions about systemic treatment of women with metastatic breast cancer are often based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone (PgR), and HER2/neu status the primary tumour. This study prospectively investigated concordance in between tumour distant metastases at various stages progression assessed impact any discordance patient management.Methods: Biopsies suspected lesions were obtained from patients analyzed for ER/PgR HER2/neu. Receptor was compared to The treating...

Abstract Background: The quality of a guideline may impact adherence to that guideline. Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) produces guidelines help manage all stages disease. CCO's staging and follow-up suggests patients (pts) with stage I breast cancer require no further investigations, bone scan for II disease, III disease in addition scan, chest abdominal imaging. on bisphosphonate (BP) use metastatic pts indicates metastases should be offered BP. We assessed the efficacy knowledge translation...
