Secondary Breast Cancer

Secondary breast cancer is when breast cancer spreads from the breast and lymph nodes (glands in your armpits) to other parts of the body. When cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it can form another tumour. This is called secondary cancer. 

Secondary cancer is also called:

• Stage 4 cancer

• Metastatic cancer

• Metastasis or metastases

• Advanced breast cancer

If you have any concerns speak to your GP or contact the Breast Clinic.
