A term used to describe cancer that has spread (metastasized) from the place where it first started to another part of the body. Secondary tumors are the same type of cancer as the original (primary) cancer. For example, cancer cells may spread from the breast (primary cancer) to form new tumors in the lung (secondary tumor). The cancer cells in the lung are just like the ones in the breast. Also called secondary cancer. Symptoms of secondary breast cancer in the brain include: headache, nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick), weakness or feeling numb down one side of the body, unsteadiness or loss of balance, seizures (fits), difficulty with speech, problems with vision, changes in behavior.
