  Purpose

This is a multicenter, prospective OCS designed to follow patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer in the United States. Two cohorts will be included:

  • Patients with HER2-negative disease receiving their first cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy (approximately 825 patients)
  • Patients with HR-positive disease receiving their first HT for advanced disease (approximately 425 patients)

Patients who have received any chemotherapy for advanced disease more than 8 weeks prior to enrollment to this OCS will not be eligible. A total of approximately 1,250 patients will be enrolled. Approximately 150 study sites will be activated in order to achieve complete enrollment by December 2010.
