Incurable breast cancer numbers almost triple previous estimates. World first data

@Beginner - I think the lower 'guestimate' was just because they honestly didn't know - and it was a total guess! 

The quickest & easiest way to maintain the list from now on (for ANYONE diagnosed with Mets) - would be for all Pathology/Radiation companies to be required by law to report all new Mets diagnoses to the Health Dept - much the same as any other 'notifiable' disease is already: Examples of notifiable diseases include:

• infections caused by bacteria such as legionella
• diseases or conditions caused by viruses such as influenza, COVID-19 and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
• infections spread by contact, such as hepatitis
• infections spread through the gastrointestinal route, such as listeriosis
• sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia
• diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, such as measles
• diseases transmitted by insects, such as malaria, or contracted from other animal species, such as brucellosis

  .... It is really astonishing that it hasn't been done before, as patients with Mets require specific drugs & treatment regime.  It is only recently that immunotherapy has been added to the BC Mets table, whilst it has been available to other cancers for some years already.
