1 Introduction Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. In 2020, 2.3 million people were diagnosed with breast cancer and there were 685,000 deaths, representing 1 in every 6 cancer deaths in females [1]. In high-income countries such as Australia, almost all breast cancer deaths are in people with metastatic disease. Until 2000, the median survival for people diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) was less than 2 years [2].
