MBC (metastatic breast cancer)

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) occurs when cancer that started in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, such as bones, lungs, liver, or brain. It is considered advanced-stage cancer and requires ongoing treatment to control its growth and symptoms. While it may not be curable, many therapies can help extend life and improve quality of life. Management often involves a combination of medications, targeted therapies, or endocrine treatments tailored to the specific characteristics of the cancer. Early diagnosis and personalized care are crucial for optimizing outcomes in metastatic breast cancer.
