| Abstract |
Tumour metastatic disease reflects a complex interplay between tumour characteristics and local host factors. This complex relationship may have an influence on the development of metastatic disease and patient survival. Multiple factors of the primary tumour influence the development of metastases and survival in patients. Breast cancer subtype has been shown to influence patient prognosis and response to therapy. The aim of our study was to correlate breast cancer subtype with bony metastatic disease and patient survival. All women undergoing breast cancer surgery in a single institution in Ireland between January 1990 and July 2012 were included in the study. A prospectively maintained database was reviewed and expanded retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate analysis was carried out. Database interrogation identified 238 patients for inclusion. Patient demographics, tumour characteristics and survival data were analyzed. Average follow-up of patients was 57.6 months (range 1-272 months). Multivariate analysis identified oestrogen receptor positivity and presence of metastatic disease elsewhere as significant factors influencing the development of bone metastases. Breast cancer subtype did not influence the bone metastases development (p = 0.99). Breast cancer subtype influenced patients' overall survival (p < 0.001), bone disease-free survival (p < 0.001) and survival with bone disease (p < 0.001). Subtype did not influence distant disease-free survival. Breast cancer subtype influences patients' overall survival, with luminal A and B subtypes associated with the best outcome. Bone metastases remain the most common form of breast cancer metastases but are not influenced by breast cancer subtype. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 March 2017.
All research outputs
#18,538,272
of 22,959,818 outputs
Outputs from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#992
of 1,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,543
of 320,287 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Irish Journal of Medical Science
#13
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,959,818 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,418 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,287 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
