Metastasis
Metastasis is a complex process that involves the spread of a tumor or cancer to distant parts of the body from its original site. However, this is a difficult process. To successfully colonize a distant area in the body a cancer cell must complete a series of steps before it becomes a clinically detectable lesion.
Metastatic cancer is a cancer that has spread from the part of the body where it started (the primary site) to other parts of the body.
