Baseline clinical characteristics are summarized and separated by respective cohort.

aPatient with bone lesions and breast primary lesion and/or lymph node involvement were included as bone only as far as no presence of visceral disease.

bMedian (Interquartile Range).

cOne patient received bicalutamide as endocrine partner.

dSix patients received bicalutamide as endocrine partner.
