Abstract

Women diagnosed with breast cancer within 10 years of a completed pregnancy are 2~3x more likely to develop liver metastases than never-pregnant (nulliparous) patients, even after controlling for prognostic variables. This finding suggests a unique biology in the postpartum liver, a putative pre-metastatic niche, which makes postpartum patients more susceptible to liver metastases.
