Therapies for MBC patients are typically adapted from breast cancer treatments in women. This study systematically performed a retrospective evaluation of the clinicopathological features and prognostic determinants to offer evidence for a therapeutic strategy for MBC patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 29 MBC patients were selected from PLA General Hospital in China from 2006 to 2023 and 2589 patients were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database with their registration periods spanning from 2016 to 2020. The clinicopathological features between different groups were compared using Pearson\u2019s chi\u2010square test (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      test) or Fisher\u2019 s exact test, as appropriate. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was utilized to assess the predictors of overall survival (OS). Subgroup analyses were further conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy across different stages.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We identified 2618 patients totally.

The infiltrating duct carcinoma was the most common pathological type for both groups.

In stratified subgroup analyses, postoperative chemotherapy significantly improved OS in stages T2N1\u20103M0 and T3\u20104N1\u20103M0 MBC patients. Postoperative radiation was associated with favorable OS in early\u2010stage (T1N0M0) and locally advanced (T3\u20104N1M0 and T1\u20104N2\u20103M0) MBC patients.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median age at diagnosis for MBC patients in China was significantly younger compared to other populations.
