A member asked:

What can be done for breast cancer skin metastasis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More importantly...: ...What's going on in the rest of the body? True skin mets from breast cancer are often multiple & may be indicative of disease elsewhere, necessitating chemotherapy. If it is truly an isolated skin met, it can be excised and/or radiated.

Dr Hoepfner and another doctor agreed
