Metastatic Breast Cancer - Statistics, Diagnosis, Treatment Options

Dr. Gradishar

Metastatic breast cancer is diagnosed when cells from the original breast tumor have spread beyond your breast to other parts of your body. Even if cancer cells from your breast migrate through your blood stream or lymph system to the lungs, bones, brain, liver, or skin, it is still called breast cancer. I asked Dr. William Gradishar, an oncologist at Feinberg School Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, about statistics and treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Read what he has to say.
