   Does metastatic breast cancer spread to other parts of the body?

   • Although metastatic breast cancer has spread to another part of the body, it’s still breast cancer and treated as breast cancer. For example, breast cancer that has spread to the bones is still breast cancer (not bone cancer). So, it’s treated with breast cancer drugs rather than treatments for a cancer that began in the bones.

   Does early-stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic disease?

   • However, most patients with early-stage breast cancer do not go on to develop metastatic disease. Approximately 15% of patients with metastatic breast cancer are found to have metastatic spread at the time of the initial breast cancer diagnosis. This is called de novo metastatic breast cancer. Symptoms depend on where the cancer has metastasized.
