But other locally advanced cancers, such as some prostate cancers, may be cured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Metastatic cancers<\/strong> have spread from where they started to other parts of the body. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Cancers that have spread are often thought of as advanced when they can\u2019t be cured or controlled with treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Not all metastatic cancers are advanced cancers.<\/strong> Some cancers can spread to other parts of the body and still be very curable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">As advanced cancer grows, it can cause symptoms. These symptoms can almost always be managed with treatment, even when the cancer itself no longer responds to treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">What is metastatic cancer?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from the part of the body where it started (the primary site) to other parts of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When cancer cells break away from a tumor, they can travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or the lymph system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Lymph vessels are much like blood vessels, except they carry a clear fluid and immune system cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If the cells travel through the lymph system, they could end up in nearby lymph nodes (small, bean-sized collections of immune cells) or they could spread to other organs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">More often, cancer cells that break off from the main tumor travel through the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Once in the blood, they can go to any part of the body. Many of these cells die, but some may settle in a new area and start to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Cancer cells must go through several steps to spread to new parts of the body:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">They must find ways to break away from the original tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymph system.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">They need to attach to the wall of a blood or lymph vessel and move into a new body part.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">They need to find ways to grow and thrive in their new location.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">They must be able to avoid attacks from the body\u2019s immune system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When cancer spreads to a new area, it\u2019s still named after the part of the body where it started.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For instance, breast cancer that has spread to the lungs is called \u201cmetastatic breast cancer to the lungs\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s not lung cancer. Treatment is also based on where the cancer started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If prostate cancer spreads to the bones, it\u2019s still prostate cancer (not bone cancer), and the doctor will choose treatments that have been shown to help against metastatic prostate cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Likewise, colon cancer that has spread to the liver is treated as metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Sometimes the metastatic tumors have already begun to grow when the cancer is first found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Sometimes, metastasis may be found before the original (primary) tumor is found. If cancer has already spread to other parts of the body before it\u2019s first diagnosed, it may be hard to figure out where it started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Why do cancer cells tend to spread?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Where cancer starts is linked to where it will spread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Most cancer cells that break free from the primary tumor are carried in the blood or lymph system until they get trapped in the next \u201cdownstream\u201d organ or set of lymph nodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This explains why breast cancer often spreads to underarm lymph nodes, but rarely to lymph nodes in the belly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Many cancers commonly spread to the lungs. This is because the heart pumps blood from the rest of the body through the lungs\u2019 blood vessels before sending it elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Possible symptoms of advanced and metastatic cancer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">General signs and symptoms of advanced and metastatic cancer can include:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Loss of energy and feeling tired and\/or weak: This can get so bad that you may have a hard time doing everyday tasks like bathing or getting dressed. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">People with advanced cancer often need help with these things.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Weight loss (without trying)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Pain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Shortness of breath or trouble breathing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Advanced and metastatic cancers can cause many other symptoms, depending on the type of cancer and where it has spread.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advanced and Metastatic Cancer If you or a loved one is told that you have advanced cancer, it\u2019s very important to find out exactly what&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cancer","wpcat-2-id"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mycancer\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mickeylieberman.com\/cancer\/what-is-the-difference-between-advanced-and-metastatic-cancer\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.9\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Cancer\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What is the Difference Between Advanced and Metastatic Cancer?
