Is breast cancer metastasis to two lymph nodes considered spread?

Does breast cancer metastasis to two lymph nodes mean spread?

1. Under normal circumstances, breast cancer metastasis is counted as spread if it metastasizes to 2 lymph nodes.

2. In medicine, the spread of cancer cells mainly refers to cancer cells overcoming the adhesion resistance between cells through various mutations, changing their shape, successfully escaping from dense connective tissue, and then entering the blood through microvessels to avoid the attack of white blood cells, and then reaching new organs through microvessels, which is now also called micrometastasis. Generally speaking, if breast cancer has spread or metastasized, it can basically be said that it has reached advanced symptoms and needs timely treatment. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy is recommended.

3. After breast cancer resection, patients should pay attention to self-examination, that is, frequently check the skin of the neck, chest and armpits for abnormal nodules or lumps. If any abnormality is found, seek medical attention immediately. Patients should strengthen self-care, wear cotton underwear as much as possible, avoid friction and squeezing of local skin, keep the skin clean, and if it is broken, they should be hospitalized for treatment, prevent local infection, maintain a happy mood, and pay attention to reducing psychological pressure.
