An Uncommon Presentation of a Common Disease: A Review of Gastric Metastasis From Breast Carcinoma

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in screening and treatment modalities, distant metastasis still develops. Breast cancer metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is very rare, therefore, its diagnosis, therap...

description Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in screening and treatment modalities, distant metastasis still develops. Breast cancer metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is very rare, therefore, its diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, and prognosis pose a clinical problem for clinicians. We summarize the current knowledge regarding the clinicopathological characteristics and diagnostic strategies for metastatic tumors in the stomach of breast origin.
