What does "metastatic" mean?

It's a term you may hear when discussing cancer, but many people aren't sure what it means. Metastatic cancer occurs when cancer spreads from where it began to another area of the body.

Understanding medical terms can help patients, caregivers and loved ones feel more informed when navigating a diagnosis.

Leaves changing color aren't the only sign of fall.

For many people, fall also means sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes and other allergy symptoms. Seasonal allergens like ragweed can trigger symptoms that make it difficult to enjoy your favorite fall activities.

If you're dealing with persistent allergy symptoms, it may be time to talk with a healthcare provider about treatment options.
