A member asked:

How fast does invasive ductal carcinoma begin metastasis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: It is well-established that cancer survival is related to timing of diagnosis, however, it's not that simple. Some aggressive cancers may spread very early and others may never regardless of timing. Furthermore, one's overall health (and immune system) may play a major role. Thankfully, most breast cancers are curable.
