Metastatic Breast Cancer
📋Overview
Metastatic breast cancer, also known as stage IV breast cancer, is the advanced form of breast cancer where cancer cells have spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body such as bones, liver, lungs, or brain. It is a progression of breast cancer rather than a separate disease. Treatment focuses on controlling disease spread, relieving symptoms, and improving quality of life.
