Breast Cancer Brain Metastases: Clonal Evolution in Clinical Context

Brain metastases are highly-evolved manifestations of breast cancer arising in a unique microenvironment, giving them exceptional adaptability in the face of new extrinsic pressures. The incidence is rising in line with population ageing, and use of newer therapies that stabilise metastatic disease burden with variable efficacy throughout the body.

Brain metastases and breast cancer subtypes.

fer significantly.
