Gastric metastasis

Breast cancer metastasis to the stomach

Aim: This study focuses on the stomach as an unusual but not rare site of metastasis of breast cancer.
Methods: We performed a literature search on gastric metastasis from breast cancer searching for reviews from
2000 to 2018 and case reports from 2013 to 2018. We found 11 reviews and 36 case reports and we compared their
findings about important aspects of gastric metastasis, such as disease free survival, overall survival, symptoms,
endoscopic findings, therapy, histology, and immunohistochemistry.
