Stages of Breast Cancer: Stage IV
IV breast cancer occurs when cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. This is called breast cancer metastasis. Women with breast cancer stage IV often receive chemotherapy and hormonal therapy with surgery and radiotherapy. Radiation can also be used to control tumors in other parts of the body.
