metastasis

Examples of metastasis in the following topics:

• Metastasis Through Lymphatic Vessels

  • Metastasis is the spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or area of the body.
  • The newly formed "daughter" tumor in the adjacent site within the tissue is called a local metastasis.
  • This is the most common route of metastasis for carcinomas.
  • This is the most common route of metastasis for carcinomas.
  • Micrograph of a colorectal adenocarcinoma metastasis to a lymph node, also lymph node metastasis.

• Brain Tumors

  • Brain metastasis in the right cerebral hemisphere from lung cancer shown on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with intravenous contrast.

• Specific Effects of Stress: Cancer

  • Studies in mice and human cancer cells grown in a laboratory have found that the stress hormone norepinephrine, part of the body's fight-or-flight response system, may promote angiogenesis and metastasis.
  • Metastasis refers to the transference of a bodily function or disease to another part of the body, specifically the development of a secondary area of disease remote from the original site.

• Laryngitis and Cancer of the Larynx

  • Laryngeal cancer may spread by direct extension to adjacent structures, by metastasis to regional cervical lymph nodes, or more distantly, through the blood stream.
  • Distant metastasis to the lung are most common.
  • The final management plan will depend on the site, stage (tumor size, nodal spread, distant metastasis), and histological type.

• Overview of Cancer

  • A major hallmark of cancers is metastasis, the ability of the cancer to spread between tissues and organs within the body.
  • Additionally, symptoms associated with metastasis—such as enlarged lymph nodes, an enlarged liver, or an enlarged spleen—can develop.
  • Describe the primary characteristics of cancer including signs and symptoms, metastasis, classification, causes, prevention, and treatments

• Cell Migration in Multicellular Organisms

  • Errors during this process have serious consequences, including intellectual disability, vascular disease, tumor formation and metastasis.

• Cell Signaling and Cell Growth

  • If left unchecked, uncontrolled cell division can lead tumor formation and metastasis, the growth of cancer cells in new locations in the body.

• How the Body Responds to Stress

  • Studies in mice and human cancer cells grown in a laboratory have found that the stress hormone norepinephrine may promote angiogenesis and metastasis.
  • "Metastasis" refers to the transference of a bodily function or disease to another part of the body, specifically the development of a secondary area of disease remote from the original site.

• Pancreatic Cancer

  • Symptoms of pancreatic cancer metastasis.

• Lung Cancer

  • If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and eventually into other parts of the body.
