Abstract Background: Bone-only (BO) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), defined as bone as unique site of metastasis at MBC diagnosis, is thought to carry a better prognosis among MBC. However, only small retrospective series and data from selected randomized controlled trials have been reported so far. Based on a national database, we aimed at providing a large comprehensive analysis of BO MBC, and at evaluating its impact on clinical outcome. Methods: The ESME MBC platform (NCT03275311) is a French multicenter retrospective real-life database using a clinical trial-like methodology to collect data from 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Centers. It includes data from each newly diagnosed MBC patient having initiated at least one treatment between 2008 and 2016. BO cases occurring in women were retrieved and compared to the overall non-BO population, regarding treatment effects and survival. Results: Of the 22,463 women selected in the database, 5,041 (22.4%) patients with BO disease were identified. Most (N=4,102, 81.4%) had HR+/HER2- disease while 644 (12.8%) and 295 (5.9%) patients had HER2+ or HR-/HER2- disease, respectively. Compared to non-BO MBC, BO MBC patients were older in the global cohort and in HR-/HER2- patients (mean age 61.0y versus 59.5y, and 59.3y vs 56.4y, all p&amp;lt;0.0001, respectively), and tumor histology was more frequently a lobular carcinoma in the global cohort, in HR+/HER2- and in HR-/HER2- patients (18.6% vs 10.8%, 20.6% vs 15.2%, 13.8% vs 3.2%, all p&amp;lt;0.0001, respectively). In addition, metastatic disease occurred de novo more frequently in BO MBC patients (37.9% versus 29.2%) (p&amp;lt;0.0001), and a statistically significant difference was also observed within each tumor subtype group. The management of bone disease included bisphosphonates or denosumab, radiotherapy, and invasive bone metastasis procedures in 3,913 (77.6%), 2,929 (58.1%), and 1,154 (22.9%) patients, respectively. Median follow up was 52.4 months (95% CI [50.8-54.2]) in BO population and 50.9 months (95% CI [49.7-51.8]) in non-BO population. BO MBC patients had improved median progression-free survival (PFS) 1, regarding first-line treatment, and overall survival (OS) compared to non-BO MBC, globally and within each tumor subtype group (Table). Indeed, 5-year OS rates reached up to 43%, 54% and 16% in HR+/HER2-, HER2+ and HR-/HER2- BO MBC groups, respectively. This suggests that a substantial number of these patients could be considered as long survivors. In the BO MBC cohort, de novo BO MBC patients had a higher 5-year OS rate than relapsed BO MBC patients. BO disease was an independent prognostic factor of OS (hazard ratio 0.68 (95% CI [0.65-0.72]), p&amp;lt;0.0001) together with age, tumor subtype, grade, adjuvant treatment and metastatic-free interval. Conclusion: This large comprehensive study is the largest cohort of BO MBC to date. BO MBC has a distinct presentation from non-BO MBC and carry a better prognosis compared to non-BO MBC. A significant proportion of BO MBC patients have a very long survival and may benefit from aggressive local therapy, as stereotactic radiotherapy. Dedicated studies are warranted to tailor the management of these patients. Funding: This work was supported by UNICANCER.
