Just like garden weeds that grow back stubbornly if they were not completely removed, breast cancer cells may flourish and cause breast cancer to recur under the right environment within the body despite the best care and treatment. This is called a recurrence or relapse, which occurs when some of the original cancer cells survive the initial treatment or when cancer cells spread undetected to other parts of the body.
