One of the main ways breast cancer spreads is through the lymphatic system. Lymph vessels carry a clear fluid called lymph which drains into lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures which contain cells that fight infections (immune system cells). Lymph vessels from the breast drain into the axillary lymph nodes and supraclavicular lymph nodes.
