Our study found that BC molecular subtypes, extracranial disease status, and BM-related symptoms were associated with OS in surgically treated patients with BCBM. Additionally, while extensive resection to minimize residual tumor volume did not significantly affect OS across the entire cohort, it appeared beneficial for patients without extracranial metastases.
