Metaplastic Breast Cancer  

What is metaplastic breast cancer?

Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare type of cancer of the
breast.

Types of surgery and therapy following surgery of metaplastic breast carcinoma depend on the stage of the disease (i.e., how far the cancer has spread beyond the breast tissue) and the presence or absence of receptors to hormones on the surface of the breeast cancer cells
Therefore, options for surgery and therapy following surgery of metaplastic breast carcinoma usually are similar to those for other types of breast cancer, unless the patient is participating in a clinical study.
