Metastatic cancer is not always the same as advanced cancer. Cancer can be metastatic even if only a small amount of the cancer has spread. In many cases metastatic cancer can be treated successfully or even cured if it has not done a lot of damage. But metastatic cancer may be advanced if it has spread to many places or has greatly harmed tissues and important organs.
Most people who die from cancer have metastatic tumors. Many of the problems from cancer are caused by the cancer spreading to an important place in the body or because it has spread to many places.
