Test Details
The Breast Metastatic Marker Test is a medical test used to determine whether breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes or distant organs. This test helps in staging the cancer and guiding treatment decisions.
During the test, a sample of tissue or fluid from the affected area is taken and analyzed for specific markers that indicate the presence of metastasis. These markers may include proteins or genetic abnormalities associated with breast cancer.

Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Breast Metastatic Marker Test is typically performed after a breast cancer diagnosis has already been made to assess the extent of the disease. It is not a screening test for breast cancer. Symptoms of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, changes in breast shape or size, nipple discharge, or skin changes.
Treatment Options
If metastasis is detected through the Breast Metastatic Marker Test, more aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy or targeted therapy may be recommended. The results of the test can help doctors determine the appropriate treatment options for the patient.
