More Details: Abstract Post-progression survival affects overall survival (OS) in patients with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (HER2-ABC); thus, the optimal choice of first-line chemotherapy (1LCT) remains controversial. We investigated patients with HER2-ABC focusing on their sensitivity to 1LCT. We retrospectively analyzed patients with HER2-ABC who received 1LCT between January 2011 and December 2016 in three participating institutions. We identified 149 patients in the shorter and 152 patients in the longer time to treatment failure (TTF) groups. The median OS was significantly longer in the longer TTF group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.44, P
