At the 麻豆传媒高清版 Breast Center, we are passionate about providing expert, compassionate care for patients with advanced stage breast cancers.

Advanced breast cancer is also called metastatic breast cancer or stage IV breast cancer. This type of breast cancer has metastasized (spread) beyond the breast tissue to other parts of the body. While metastatic breast cancer cannot be cured, it can be treated and managed to live longer with improved quality of life and well-being. Here, you'll find compassionate, expert care to help you live well.
