Metastatic cancer
Speak with a medical adviser ↗Metastatic cancer means cancer cells have spread from the original tumour. Treatment depends in part on the cancer of origin and treatments already received. The disease keeps the name of the original cancer: breast cancer that has spread to the lung is metastatic breast cancer.
Speak with a medical adviser ↗When to seek an assessment
Symptoms vary according to the area affected. Discuss new or severe symptoms with the team caring for you.
How assessment works
The original diagnosis, imaging reports, pathology and full treatment history are useful for a second opinion. The medical team may request more information.
