de la Haba-Rodriguez J et al. - The variables that were shown to have independent predictive value for the TTP were: non-visceral metastatic disease, single metastases, hormonal receptor positive N/T ratio<2 and disease-free interval (DFI) >=24 months. Taking into account the variables that had reached an independent predictive value, we constructed a model of scoring in which the patients were grouped according to the TTP. Using our new scoring model, it is possible to group patients with metastatic breast cancer according to the predicted TTP. This can be a useful tool at the time of selecting and stratifying patients on entry into new randomised clinical trials.
