What does breast cancer lymph node metastasis mean?

1. Breast cancer lymph metastasis refers to the transfer of breast malignant cancer cells to lymph nodes through lymphatic vessels.

2. Lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer cells indicates that the cancer cells have deteriorated. Such deteriorated cancer cells will continue to grow and have a strong metastatic ability. It metastasizes to the lymph nodes because after growing to a certain extent, some deteriorated cancer cells will fall into the lymphatic vessels and then transfer from the lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes. If the disease is not treated in time, it will continue to metastasize to other organs, damage other organs, and endanger the patient's life. It is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for mammography and breast ultrasound to clarify the severity of the current lesion, and surgical resection is required if necessary. If it is determined to be early lymphatic metastasis, some cancer cells that have not been effectively removed can be eliminated through comprehensive treatment such as postoperative combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

3. During the treatment, we need to maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment process. During postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, we should always pay attention to whether there are new lumps in the breast, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups so that the treatment method can be adjusted in time according to the check-up results. Eat a reasonable diet after surgery and be careful not to eat spicy food.
