Background Endocrine therapy is the preferred treatment for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). While visceral metastasis is a negative prognostic factor, few studies have distinguished between the prognoses of patients with metastases at different visceral sites. Patients and methods In total, 398 patients receiving fulvestrant 500 mg at a single center over a 6-year period were analyzed. Logistic regression models were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival (PFS). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the PFS of patients with lung and liver metastases. Results Baseline visceral metastases were present in 233 patients, including 138 with lung(w/o liver) metastases (lung metastases without liver involvement), 51 with liver(w/o lung) metastases (liver metastases without lung involvement) and 41 with lung and liver metastases. The median PFS was 6.8 months (5.6 and 9.2 months for visceral and nonvisceral metastases, respectively, P = .028). PFS was longer in patients with lung(w/o liver) metastases than in those with liver(w/o lung) metastases or lung and liver metastases (9.6, 3.7 and 3.2 months, respectively, P < .001; liver(w/o lung) vs. lung(w/o liver) hormone receptor (HR) 1.70; lung and liver vs. lung(w/o liver) HR 2.85). Patients with liver metastases experienced significantly worse PFS than those without liver involvement (3.7 vs. 9.2 months, P < .001). PFS benefits were observed in patients with longer disease-free intervals, no liver metastases, and no previous chemotherapy. Conclusion Fulvestrant treatment benefited patients with lung(w/o liver) or nonvisceral metastases. When treating HR-positive/HER2-negative MBC patients with endocrine therapy, it is important to differentiate patients with lung metastases from those with liver metastases.
