Breast cancer can spread in several ways. It can spread from the breast into surrounding areas, such as the lymph nodes under the arm or near the collarbone. Cancer cells can also travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
Once breast cancer cells reach a new area of the body, they can continue to grow and form a new tumor. This is known as metastasis. Breast cancer most commonly spreads to the bones, lungs, liver, and brain.
