Metastatic Cancer Fact Sheet - National Cancer Institute


Metastatic cancer may be treated with systemic therapy (chemotherapybiological therapytargeted therapyhormonal therapy), local therapy (surgery, radiation therapy), or a combination of these treatments. The choice of treatment generally depends on the type of primary cancer; the size, location, and number of metastatic tumors; the patient's age and general health; and the types of treatment the patient has had in the past. In patients with CUP, it is possible to treat the disease even though the primary cancer has not been found.
