Metastatic Disease

Pleural effusion occurs when cancer causes fluid to build up around the lungs, making it harder to breathe. The good news? It can be drained quickly, and most people feel significantly better within hours. Learn which cancers cause this, how it happens, and what treatment options work fastest.

If just one or two areas of your stage 4 cancer are growing while the rest stays stable, you may be experiencing oligoprogressive disease.

Private cancer care offers rapid access to cancer treatment, continuity with a dedicated consultant, and personalised support. Dr James Wilson explains why treatment at a private oncology clinic is a practical, expert-led option when you need clarity, control, and prompt treatment.
