metastasise
Metastasise refers to the process by which cancer cells spread from the place where they first formed to another part of the body. In this process, the cancer cells often travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to reach other organs where they develop into additional tumours, initiating the formation of a metastatic cancer or metastatic tumor. Metastasis is a defining attribute of malignant or cancerous tumors and represents a main factor contributing to cancer patient morbidity and mortality.
