Many factors contribute to patient survival in metastatic breast cancer and other late-stage cancers. It is doubtful that adjuvant therapy causes a worse survival outcome. This being said, should resistance develop following adjuvant therapy, the patient needs to be offered a first-line solution that is free of cross-resistance.
