“…Databases show that up to 93% of MBC cases are of advanced disease, and that distant metastases are observed in approximately 30% of these patients at the time of diagnosis (19,46). In the current study, the most frequent involvements were bone (n=12, 70.6%), lung (n=6, 35.3%), cranial field (n=3, 17.6%), brain (n=2, 11.8%), liver (n=2, 11.8%), pleura (n=1, 5.9%), and mesentery (n=1, 5.9%).…”
