Secondary Breast Cancer: Finding Breast Cancer Outside the Breast

Duration: 75 minutes

Program ID: 1009b | Purchase Price: $105.00


A project of the Supporting Women in Rural Areas Diagnosed with Breast Cancer Program, funded by the Australian Government and developed by the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre.

Secondary breast cancer, also known as metastatic breast cancer, is breast cancer which has spread to distant sites in the body such as the bone, liver or brain. Most women who present with secondary breast cancer will have already been diagnosed with and treated for early breast cancer, although this will be the first presentation for some .

The prognosis of secondary breast cancer is largely dependent on the site of the metastasis, the disease-free interval and the hormone receptor status of the tumour. Management of secondary breast cancer carries a number of challenges for a woman and her health professionals.

This program considers some of the challenges in management of secondary breast cancer, recent developments in treatment and the psychosocial and supportive care needs of women and their families. A number of new resources for women with secondary breast cancer and their families, developed by the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre, are also discussed.
