Treating metastatic or stage IV (also called stage 4) inflammatory breast cancer
In metastatic (stage IV or stage 4) inflammatory breast cancer, the cancer has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to distant parts of the body. Treatment for stage IV inflammatory breast cancer is the same as treatment for other types of metastatic breast cancer.
