Breast cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by a female sex hormone called estrogen. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), and the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other body parts. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening, which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, and nipple discharge other than breast milk.

Metastatic breast cancer, also called stage IV breast cancer, has spread to another part of the body, most commonly the bones, lungs, brain, or liver. The process of cancer spreading is called metastasis. Metastasis happens when cancer cells break away from the original tumour in the breast and travel to other parts of the body. These cancer cells travel through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system.
