The purpose of this article is to increase oncology nurses' understanding of the pathophysiology of cutaneous metastases, facilitate recognition of the various presentations of cutaneous metastatic breast cancer, discuss management of both the underlying disease process and skin lesions, and identify issues...
An ultrasound led to finding lesions in her liver. A mammogram revealed the rest: Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. "I literally thought, 'I'm going to die,'" Rivers says when she first heard the news. "I have this wonderful family, my youngest was in ...
Metastasis from carcinoma of the breast to the skin occurred almost exclusively in women, tended to be localized to the anterior chest wall, and was usually found after the primary tumor. Most cutaneous lesions metastasizing from squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity were found on the face ...
This advanced stage of breast cancer can occur years after an original early-stage breast cancer or it may be the first presentation of breast cancer. However, the majority of patients living with metastatic breast cancer were initially diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and took all the ri...
The AURORA US Metastasis Project was established with the goal to identify molecular features associated with metastasis. We assayed 55 females with metastatic breast cancer (51 primary cancers and 102 metastases) by RNA sequencing, tumor/germline DNA ex
Background Receptor status discordance, such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ( HER2 ) status between primary breast cancer and metastatic lesions has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biopsy of clinically di...
Achieving systemic tumor control across metastases is vital for long-term patient survival but remains intractable in many patients. High lesion-level response heterogeneity persists, conferring many dissociated responses across metastatic lesions. Most

Metastatic dissemination occurs very early in the malignant progression of a cancer but the clinical manifestation of metastases often takes years. In recent decades, 5-year survival of patients with many solid cancers has increased due to earlier detect
