Abstract

Metastasis is a complex process in which tumor cells leave the original site of disease, called the primary tumor, to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells can break away from a primary tumor, enter the blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and be deposited in other organs far from the primary tumor. When tumor cells metastasize to distant organs, the new tumor is called a secondary or metastatic tumor.
