Metastasis is the gradual progression of cancerous cells from one organ (primary tumor) to the other. Usually, cancerous cells spread from the primary tumor and invade the lymphatic system and blood vessels, then they pass through the circulation and grow up in a nearby organ (metastasize) within normal tissues somewhere else in the body.
Metastasis occurs when cancer cells attain the property of increased motility and invasiveness. Cells that metastasize in other tissues are fundamentally of the same type as those in the primary tumor.
A new study reveals how colon cancer cells change identity, helping tumours spread to other organs and offering hope for future treatments to stop metastasis.
Breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Breast cancer metastasis happens mostly at night when the affected person is asleep.
A protein found in peanuts could lead to increased production of cytokines that promote cancer metastasis, suggests a new study.
A study by City of Hope neurosurgeons has explained how breast cancer cells cross the blood-brain barrier and form brain tumors.
Liver metastasis is a dangerous complication in any cancer, and it leads to very poor prognosis for cancer patients. But experts may have a way to overcome this.
According to a study published in the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, elderly cancer survivors of breast cancer, lung cancer and melanoma are more at risk of developing brain metastasis later on.
A new study presented during the 2019 Experimental Biology meeting in Florida has revealed that a compound that is responsible for chilli's heat could help may slow the spread of lung cancer.
A recent study conducted at the Tulane University in New Orleans has revealed that dim light exposure at night can contribute to metastatic breast cancer in the bone.
Having a sound knowledge of the medical terms used in the oncology fraternity will help you evaluate your condition better and arm you up to take well-informed decisions.
Breast cancer treatment should be a holistic approach. Yoga can help breast cancer patients and survivors deal with the stress and improve the overall quality of life.
