High-grade cancer is a term by medical experts to describe the cells and tissues which look abnormal under a microscope. As a matter of fact, high-grade cancer cells look differently than low-grade cancer cells and they tend to grow quickly and even spread in a fast manner. What is Metastasis ? The term metasised is used when the cancer cells start spreading to other parts of the human body. When cancer cells break away from the spot where they were formed and spread to distant parts of the body through blood and lymph, organs. it is called metastatic cancer. For many types of cancer, it is also referred as stage IV (four) cancer. Metastasis  is the process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the human body. As per cancer.gov, Metastatic cancer has the same name as that of primary cancer. For example, breast cancer which spreads to the lung is referred to as metastatic breast cancer and not lung cancer. It is treated as stage IV breast cancer and not as lung cancer. Treatment? (As per info on Cancer.ca) Metastatic cancer is usually more difficult to treat than cancer that hasn’t spread. In most cases, the goal of treatment for metastatic cancer is to prolong survival and maintain quality of life. Treatments control and slow the growth of metastases, but the metastases usually don’t go away completely. Treatments are also used to manage or prevent problems caused by the metastatic cancer (called supportive therapies). Treatments offered for metastatic cancer are based on several factors, including where the cancer started, symptoms, location and amount of metastases, treatments used for the original cancer, the goal of treatment, your overall health and your personal preferences. Treatments that may be used for metastatic cancer include chemotherapy and other drug therapies, radiation therapy, surgery and ablation therapy. A combination of different treatments and supportive therapies is often used. We really hope that Sonali "Fight that b****d & don’t let it win !!!"[in Arjun Kapoor's words...].
