What Are the Treatments for Metastatic Breast Cancer in the Adrenal Gland?
Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer. In metastatic breast cancer, cancer cells break away from the primary breast tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. These cancer cells can then spread to almost any part of the body and form new tumors. The adrenal gland, a hormone-secreting gland near the kidneys is a common site of metastatic disease. Breast cancer metastasis to the adrenal gland can be treated with a number of therapies.
