    Metastatic refers to the process by which a disease, specifically cancer, spreads from its original site to other parts of the body. The term can be used to describe both the process and the disease itself once it has spread. This typically happens when cancer cells break away from the primary tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and establish new tumors in different parts of the body.
