When someone gets a biopsy and is diagnosed with stage 3 metastatic skin cancer, what happens next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Sorry, but I am having trouble understanding your question. What type of skin cancer are you asking about? Common ones include Basal Cell, Squamous Cell and Melanoma. The word "metastatic" means that a cancer (any type) has spread to a distant location like a lymph node or another organ (lungs, brain). If a cancer is metastatic it is usually staged as stage 4, hence my confusion. Please re-ask!
