Metastases can be large or small


or micro:

Adjuvant treatment of breast cancer is designed to treat micrometastatic disease (ie, breast cancer cells that have escaped the breast and regional lymph nodes but which have not yet had an established identifiable metastasis). Adjuvant treatment for breast cancer involves radiation therapy and systemic therapy (including a variety of chemotherapeutic, hormonal and biologic agents).

Breast cancer cells that have escaped....

Uh, that would be metastasis, my friend.

All it takes is one cancerous cell, jaq. (Why do you think women worry about breast biopsies and resections provoking metastases?)

Sticking a needle into a cancerous breast can be like poking a hornet's nest; it most certainly can provoke MICRO metastases along the needle track and systemically. But you already knew that. And there is adjuvant treatment for it as well.
