Where does breast cancer metastasize?

Introduction: Breast cancer is a common disease in women, and breast cancer is more harmful than other cancers, that is, cancer cells are particularly easy to metastasize, where does breast cancer metastasis usually metastasize?

In fact, if cancer cells can grow in a fixed location and do not swim around, it is still relatively easy for doctors to find the lesion and suppress it. However, if the number of cells is transferred, it will affect other organs. If there are cancer cells all over the body, it is difficult to treat them.

Under normal circumstances, after the appearance of breast cancer, it is likely to metastasize to the brain, lungs, chest, liver and bones, so there are still many metastatic directions of breast cancer. The main reason is that breast cancer appears in a special location, close to the brain, and close to other organs of the body, so the metastasis is relatively rapid. Women who find that they have a hard lump in the breast in their daily life should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that they can also be treated in time.

In the early stage of breast cancer, it can still be curbed by surgery and other methods, but it is difficult to ** in the advanced stage, so it is still a headache to have such a situation. Cancer is better when it is detected in the early stage, and it will be more difficult after the advanced stage, and women should also pay attention to their mood and emotions in their daily life, and pay attention to a healthy diet, so that breast cancer can be effectively prevented.

There are many people who have a minor illness, but they didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it turned out to be a major illness. Young people can also get cancer, so don't think you can carry it if you are stronger. Moreover, the cause of cancer has always been a matter of opinion, some say it is genetic, some say it is the environment, some say it is lifestyle habits.

But no matter what, you still have to pay attention to your own timely discovery, and if you find it early, you can get a good **. If you feel a dull pain in your daily life, you should check it in time.

The most common sites of breast cancer metastasis are ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes, and the most common sites of blood metastasis are bone, lung, liver, brain, etc.

Lymphatic metastases: the most common site is ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes, but it can also metastasize to subclavian lymph nodes, supraclavicular lymph nodes, and parasternal lymph nodes. Usually presents with swollen lymph nodes.

Vascular metastasis: Early-stage breast cancer has metastasis, and cancer cells can directly invade the blood circulation and cause distant metastasis, the most common distant metastases are bone, lung, liver, and brain.

Bone metastasis is mostly manifested as bone pain at the metastasis site, and pathological fractures may occur; Most patients with lung metastases are asymptomatic, and patients with hilar involvement, especially when metastases are adjacent to or invade the bronchi, may present with cough, hemoptysis, and pain; Most patients with liver metastases are asymptomatic and can be detected by imaging.

Patients with brain metastases may present with headache, nausea and vomiting and other manifestations of increased intracranial pressure.

A common site of metastasis of breast cancer is bone metastases. The metastasis of bones is a very common part, which may account for sixty or seventy percent, and the second is that the metastasis of the skull is also increasing, the better the effect, the longer the time, the more metastases of the head, and the rest also have the metastasis of internal organs, the metastasis of the lungs, the metastasis of the liver, and the metastasis of the celiac lymph nodes, which are all common metastases.

1. Metastasis to the liver.

The metastasis rate of breast cancer to the liver can reach more than 20%, and the metastasis is through the blood, the cancer cells will directly reach the liver through the lymphatic route, and the metastases will show a multifocal distribution, and the patients have no symptoms in the early stage and no abnormal liver function. In advanced stages, the liver may become significantly larger and more painful, and the patient's condition will deteriorate rapidly and even lead to death.

2. Brain metastases will occur.

The probability of brain metastasis in breast cancer can reach about 5%, which is mainly divided into brain parenchymal metastasis and meningeal metastasis, brain metastasis can cause cerebral edema or brain swelling, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, and patients will have visual impairment, headache, nausea, vomiting, convulsions and even coma.

3. Lung and thoracic metastases.

Most breast cancers will metastasize to the lungs and the thoracic cavity, and the lung metastasis will generally present as multiple nodules, and patients will present with chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, blood in the sputum, etc., and pleural effusion will occur when it metastasizes to the pleural cavity.

Lung metastasis: 1. Lung metastasis is generally through hematogenous metastasis, lymphatic metastasis or direct invasion. It is the most common distant metastasis of breast cancer. Lung metastases occur in 75% of breast cancer** patients.

2. Breast cancer varies according to the location of metastasis. Common symptoms include sputum production, cough, coughing up blood, difficulty breathing, and fever. Where does breast cancer usually metastasize?

If breast cancer metastases occur in the interstitial lung area, early, solitary nodules are often asymptomatic but can be detected by imaging. If the metastases are located in the endbronchial lining and cough is evident, obstructive pneumonia or atelectasis may also occur. If carcinomatous lymphangitis of the lungs is present, dyspnea, cough with sputum production, purple, and chest pain, and decreased pulmonary breath sounds may be present.

3. If mediastinal metastasis occurs at the same time, symptoms of hoarseness, superior vena cava compression syndrome, septal paralysis and esophageal tracheal compression can occur. Occasionally, the tumor causes acute pulmonary embolism, which manifests as progressive dyspnea.

Common breast cancer metastasis sites include lungs, pleura, bones, liver, brain, etc. Among them, lung metastasis of breast cancer generally begins with dry cough, and then develops into chest pain, hemoptysis, and sometimes pleural effusion; Pleural metastases in breast cancer cause dyspnea, cough, and chest pain. With increased pericardial effusion, the patient may experience shortness of breath, cough, and inability to lie flat for long periods of time.

Patients with malignant effusions will have a feeling of abdominal fullness, loss of appetite, and significant dyspnea after activity.

The most common sites of breast cancer metastasis include lymph nodes, lungs, pleura, bones, brain, liver, and other organs or tissues.

According to the pathological type of breast cancer, the stage of the disease and the age of the patient, there are different methods, mainly surgery in the early stage, and palliative care in the late stage. Palliation is mainly to alleviate his pain as much as possible and prolong his life. For early-stage breast cancer, surgery is used to remove the primary tumor as much as possible.

There may be a new adjunct** later or direct surgery. Surgery is a surgical removal of the tumor, and the next step is determined according to the pathology after the surgery.

The location of breast cancer metastasis varies according to its metastasis pathway, the most common of which is lymphatic metastasis, and lymphatic metastasis is most commonly to the axillary or supraclavicular lymph nodes. At the same time, breast cancer can directly infiltrate to the chest wall, ribs, and **. The main common sites of blood group metastasis are liver, lung, brain and whole body, and vertebral metastases are the most common among bone metastases.

The most common metastatic sites of breast cancer are lungs, bones, liver, soft tissues, and brain. Now that you have undergone breast cancer surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended after surgery, depending on the specific pathological type, and targeted drugs can also be taken by mouth**. At the same time, you should maintain an optimistic attitude, don't be anxious, keep a happy mood, and have regular check-ups.

Breast cancer metastases usually metastasize to the muscles or thoracic cage, most commonly to the lungs, liver and bone, and brain metastases, breast cancer is a systemic tumor.

The metastasis of breast cancer is mainly through hematogenous metastasis and lymphatic metastasis, and there may be hyperplasia and enlargement in the axillary lymph on the same side, as well as lungs, bones, liver, soft tissues, brain, etc., which cannot be ignored.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor, and the disease has axillary lymph node metastasis, vertebral metastasis, rib metastasis, lung metastasis, liver metastasis, etc. Breast cancer can be diagnosed with metastasis by color ultrasound, CT and other examinations, followed by PET-CT examination and bone scan examination. Tests are required to confirm metastasis.

Metastasis is advanced, and chemotherapy is the main treatment on the stage, and radiotherapy is required if necessary.

Hello, breast cancer metastases, usually metastases to the chest wall, including pectoralis major, ribs, etc. Hope mine can help you.

Breast cancer has the characteristics of systemic metastasis, and metastasis occurs in all organs and systems of the body, and the common metastasis sites are as follows:

Bone metastases: manifested by bone pain, pathological fractures;

Lung metastases: presents with cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath;

Liver metastasis: manifested as epigastric discomfort in the liver area, indigestion, anorexia, etc.;

Brain metastases: manifested by headache, dizziness and other symptoms.

Hello, breast cancer metastases usually move to the sublymphatic of the armpit or to the lungs and liver. Now that medicine is more developed, breast cancer is still relatively successful in terms of ** and control.

Breast cancer is a systemic disease, and malignant tumors are characterized by systemic metastasis, so breast cancer patients will metastasize to all organs and systems in the body, but the common metastasis sites of breast cancer include bone, lung, liver, and brain.

Breast cancer is a very harmful malignant tumor, which is easy to metastasize in the lungs, liver, bones, brain tissue and other organs, and will destroy normal tissues, prone to systemic metastasis, cachexia syndrome and other serious complications, if not timely, it can endanger the patient's life.

Since early breast cancer often does not have typical symptoms and signs, we can make a preliminary diagnosis of breast cancer through breast palpation, mammography, color ultrasound, breast magnetic resonance examination, mammography ductography, histopathological examination, cytopathological examination, etc., among which pathological examination is the gold standard for breast cancer diagnosis. For breast cancer, surgery, chemoradiotherapy, endocrine and other means are used as appropriate.

Lymph node metastasis of breast cancer mainly metastasizes to the armpit, followed by lymph nodes above and below the clavicle, and the common sites of hematogenous metastasis are mainly in the lungs, followed by tissues and organs such as bones, liver, and brain.

Generally speaking, the common metastatic sites of breast cancer are the lungs and pleura, bones, soft tissues, liver, and brain. For the transfer of different parts, the method and effect are different.

Analysis: Hello, if breast cancer metastasizes now, most of it will metastasize to the bone, and some will metastasize to the liver or lungs.

Breast cancer can metastasize to other places through blood metastasis, lymphatic metastasis or direct invasion. First of all, the most common metastasis site of breast cancer is the lungs, followed by bone metastases, liver metastases, brain metastases, pleural metastases, etc. In the advanced stage, there will be multiple metastases throughout the body, and the health condition will deteriorate rapidly.

The metastatic routes of breast cancer are mainly lymphatic metastasis and hematogenous metastasis. Lymphatic metastasis is the mainstay, and breast cancer usually metastasizes to axillary lymph nodes, so breast cancer surgery is generally performed with conventional axillary lymph node dissection. Partial hematogenous metastases are usually transferred to the lungs, bones, and liver, but are generally more common in the lungs and bones.

Breast cancer cells metastasize to other organs and tissues mainly through hematogenous metastasis, lymphatic metastasis or direct invasion, such as multiple metastases in the whole body of advanced breast cancer patients, which will lead to rapid deterioration of health status, cachexia and even death. Common metastatic sites of breast cancer include bones, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, etc., and the metastasis sites can be one or several.

Lymph node metastasis under the armpit, bone metastasis, liver metastasis, lung metastasis, and metastasis to adjacent organs or kidneys, these methods will be available.

The first point is likely to reach the liver, at this time the body becomes very weak, the second point is likely to be transferred to the stomach, then this time it means that it has spread, and the third point is likely to be transferred to the entire internal organs.

In 70% of patients with metastatic breast cancer, the most common site of distant breast cancer metastases is bone. Among the bones where breast cancer has spread, the most common sites include the spine, ribs, pelvis, and long bones of the arms and legs. Bone metastases tend to have a fairly good prognosis relative to metastases in some other areas of the body.

Common metastases include ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, liver or lung metastases, and bone metastases, and patients will have symptoms such as low immunity, cough, limb weakness, and loss of appetite.

The occurrence of any cancer, our greatest concern is the disease**, especially the metastasis of cancer cells. The same goes for breast cancer. However, what we need to know about breast cancer patients is whether they are getting it right.

Lung and pleural metastasis: Lung is a common metastasis site of breast cancer, often manifested as multiple nodular metastases, bone metastases: the most easily involved sites are the spine, ribs, pelvis, long bones, and can also appear in the shoulder blades, skull, etc. The main manifestation is pain.

Liver metastases: liver metastases are small and have no specific symptoms. When the mass is large or more extensive, hepatomegaly, liver pain, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, etc., may occur.

In the late stage, diseases such as jaundice and ascites may occur. Brain metastases: Brain metastases are mainly manifested as meningeal and parenchymal metastases, and the common symptoms are headache and altered mental status, and brain insufficiency and visual impairment may occur.

If the spinal membranes are violated, back pain, sensory disturbances, bladder dysfunction, and dysuria may occur. What kind of measures should breast cancer patients take if they want to prevent the disease?

We must actively adjust our mentality, be good at controlling our emotions, adopt a positive and optimistic attitude, correct the disease, establish self-confidence, actively cooperate, and laugh at life. Return to the hospital regularly for check-ups, especially within 1 year after surgery.

Actively participate in physical activities and do some physical exercises to strengthen your resistance and restore your health. Experts remind that for women who have just undergone surgery for a short time, do not rush to work, and pay attention to rest. Maintain a good diet.

The diet after breast cancer surgery should not only be nutritious, but also pay attention to the foods that are easy to digest and talk about, and should also eat some fruits appropriately, so that you can help the patient as soon as possible**. Avoid factors that promote breast cancer**: Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, avoid cosmetics with high estrogen content, and try to avoid exposure to radiation and electromagnetic radiation.
