“Oligometastatic” is another way of saying that breast cancer has spread to a limited number of sites in the body. The number varies, but typically this means a person has five or fewer metastases (tumors that have spread).
The Limited Metastatic Cancer Program at UChicago Medicine specializes in helping people with all types of oligometastatic cancer, including breast cancer, live longer lives. Although there is no cure for metastatic breast cancer, you may still benefit from therapies we offer. This includes promising new medicines that may help extend your life.
