aPatient status included died of disease if that patients died of metastatic breast cancer, and died other causes if a patient died from other health conditions. Patients Alive with disease were diagnosed with or have progressed to stage IV breast cancer while those Alive, disease-free have had no additional breast cancer-events since diagnosis and treatment of the original primary breast tumor
