Can anyone tell me if signet rings on bone biopsy mean a more aggressive form of breast cancer. I'm stage 4

Signet ring cells in bone biopsies can indicate certain characteristics of cancer spread, but what this means for prognosis varies greatly from person to person and depends on many factors that only an oncologist can fully evaluate. This is definitely an important question to discuss with the medical team, as they can explain how these findings relate to the specific treatment plan and what options might be available moving forward.

Hi Belinda! It might be a good idea to ask one of our oncology nurses this question. From the home page of the app scroll down to the bottom and put it in the Ask Outcomes4Me box it will go directly to a nurse who will get back to you early next week. We’re glad you’re here. ❤️
