Detailed explanation-1: -This means that the cancer cells can travel far from the original tumor and form new tumors when they settle and grow in a different part of the body. Metastases can also develop when cancer cells from the main tumor break off and grow in nearby areas, such as in the liver, lungs, or bones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sometimes cancer cells can break away from the primary cancer and settle and grow in another part of the body. This new cancer growth is called secondary cancer. Secondary cancers are also called metastases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sometimes cells break away from the primary cancer and are carried in the bloodstream or through the lymphatic system to another part of the body. The cancer cells may settle in that part of the body and form a new tumour. If this happens, the new tumour is called a secondary cancer or a metastasis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cancer that spreads from where it started to a distant part of the body is called metastatic cancer. For many types of cancer, it is also called stage IV (4) cancer. The process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is called metastasis.
Detailed explanation-5: -In metastasis, cancer cells break away from the original (primary) tumor, travel through the blood or lymph system, and form a new tumor in other organs or tissues of the body.
