Abstract
We read with great interest the recent article, "Comparison of survival between unilateral and bilateral breast cancers using propensity score matching: a retrospective single-center analysis" by Ozler et al. This study addresses an important gap in the literature by comparing disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between unilateral and bilateral breast cancer, and the use of propensity score matching (PSM) strengthens the validity of the findings. However, we would like to share several reflections that we believe can enhance the interpretation and future application of this research.
期刊介绍：
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
