Every case is different. skin cancer such as malignant melanoma can be surgically removed if it is caught early enough, before it spreads very far. Early treatment is the key. Once skin cancer has spread throughout the body, it is no longer treatable, and the patient will probably die within months at most.

Can breast cancer turn into bone cancer?
Yes, advanced breast cancer can metastasize to skin, although it is not that common for the breast cancer to spread to areas of skin besides the affected breast. That cancer that has spread to the skin will be the same pathology as the breast cancer which are commonly carcinomas. The original breast cancer will not change into melanoma or basal cell carcinoma once it spreads to skin. That would be a second new cancer.

Which cancer of the cells of the epithelium spreads quickly to other body systems?
Yes it is one of the fastest spreading types of cancers. Depending on where the primary cancer is dictates where its spread to. The only cancer that I know off hand that spreads faster is small cell lung cancer. Merkle cell also spreads far but is very radiosensitive. Squamous is too, but not so much and its quicker to spread. If its a squamous cell skin cancer just have it excised and if needed followed up with chemo and/or radiation, it doesnt metastasize as quickly as if it were inside an organ.
