Metastatic Lung Cancer Treatment

Metastatic cancer occurs when cancer cells separate from a tumor and travel throughout the body via the blood or lymphatic system and spread.

When referring to metastatic cancer, the primary site where cancer is diagnosed is the ‘type’ of cancer. For example, even when lung cancer has spread to the brain or bones, it is referred to as metastatic lung cancer because it originated in the lungs.
