- Metastatic breast cancer, otherwise known as stage four breast cancer, is cancer that has spread from the breast to other areas of the body. This most commonly includes the lungs, liver, brain or bones.
Some of the topics included in this video are:
- The four main types of breast cancer
- Measuring the mutational profile of the disease
- The use of various tests to select appropriate treatments
- New treatments for metastatic breast cancer

Fantastically useful information for us Her-2+ breast cancer patients - thankyou.
thank you for your comment, I'm so glad the video was helpful for you
I am glad that I watched Ur video.I have been operated for breast cancer.I have been taking letrozole for 5 years now.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad the video was helpful for you. I wish you well and hope you continue to stay healthy.
Very informative, great, thanks
Thank you for your support!
I would like 2 know how many cancers cells are,How would I know if IAM getting healed or worsen.?Is sugar really bad for cancer patients?
A liquid biopsy or x-ray scans could be used to see if you have any residual cancer. There are some indicators that sugar consumption may increase cancer risk and growth, but more research is needed.
Is there any improvements on metestatic er positive her negative breast cancers, possibility vaccines, immunotherapy, or other hopes? Please
Thank you.
Yes there are many advances happening with new Oral Selective Estrogen Receptor Degraders (SERDs), Antibody Conjugates, PARP Inhibitors and more!
@@cancerinformanthank you so much. I hope even if they can't cure it at list if they can make it like diabetes like chronic long term illness. Thanks again.

Is it cancer stem cell is the resistant for treatment usually? Sugar what about fruit or dry fruit is it bad for breast cancer patients?
Thank you
This is a great question. There are theories that cancers contain special cells called stem cells that may be resistant to therapy, and these cells may give rise to treatment resistant recurrences. There is a lot of ongoing study investigating the mechanisms of treatment resistance in different cancers. You also raise some interesting questions about sugar and cancer. We know that many cancers may have altered sugar metabolism and become dependent on glucose. In addition, diabetes is a known risk factor for the development of many types of cancers. However Its still unclear if diet can impact tumor growth and progression in patients with breast cancer. In general, refined sugars are often associated with health risks, so its best to avoid them. Fruit does contain sugars but also contains other important nutrients and antioxidants that could be beneficial for overall health so the risks if any of fruits are currently unknown. This is an area of extensive current research so there may be new information arising soon. In addition there are some theories that diet could affect the microbiome of the gut, which in turn could impact immune function and cancer growth.
Thank you so much Dr, detailed information ❤.
