Clinical outcome of patients with brain metastases from breast cancer - A population based study over 21 years.

CONCLUSIONS: We show an increase of BM over time whilst the time span from primary BC to BM is unchanged supports earlier findings that adjuvant treatments have little preventive function. Time from extra cranial recurrence to BM was prolonged with one year. Patients with TNBC or more advance extent of BM had the shortest survival with BM.
