| Core Tip |
This letter highlights several overlooked aspects in a recent study on bone metastases in breast cancer, including the absence of molecular subtype stratification, survival outcomes, and lesion-level anatomical detail. We argue that incorporating imaging approaches, clinical context, and biomarker profiles is essential to make such anatomical findings more clinically meaningful and translatable. |
