Study Summary

RATIONALE: The primary tumor might be a source of re-seeding of distant sites and therefore elimination of this source of metastasizing cells by early local therapy may be of benefit. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying early surgery to see how well it works compared to standard palliative therapy in treating patients with stage IV breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

Overall survival (OS) was defined as time from randomization to death from any cause. All patients will be followed for survival through 5 years. Cases with incomplete follow-up or without record of vital status will be censored at the date of last contact. 3-year OS rate was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

Interventions
