relating to or affected by metastasis; "metastatic growth"
breast cancer: Breast cancer that has spread to other sites in the body.
cancerous tumor that has spread from its original source through the blood or lymph systems.
In breast cancer, cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body such as bone, lung, liver, or brain.
spread of a disease from its origin to another part of the body; for prostate cancer, the formation of a secondary tumor caused by the primary (prostate) cancer or the spread of tumor cells to the surrounding lymphatic system.
The spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body through the blood stream.
cancer that has spread to another part of the body other than its site of origin.
adjective used to describe cancer cells that have spread from a primary site somewhere else in the body
The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. A tumor formed by cells that have spread is called a "metastatic tumor" or a "metastasis."
Although this makes it sound like the cancer has spread throughout your body in reality it only means that it is in the 2 nodes. They cannot tell anything about the rest of the body since they only examined the nodes. back to pathology report
a spreading of the cancer from the original tumor to different parts of the body.
Metastasis is the spread of cancer from the site of origin.
having the characteristics of a secondary tumor formed as a result of a cancer cell or cells from the primary tumor site (e.g., the prostate) traveling through the body to a new site and then growing there
Cancer that has spread to another location in the body; a secondary deposit of cancerous cells
(MET-uh-STAT-ik) Having to do with metastasis, which is the spread of cancer from one part of the body to another.
cancer that has spread from its primary site to nearby or distant areas of the body through the lymphatic system or blood.
Usually used to describe cancerous lesions that spread to other organs in the body.
the transfer of a cancer from one organ to another.
pertaining to metastasis; cancer that has spread to either the lymph nodes (regionally metastatic) or organs, e.g., lung, liver, adrenal glands, bone, or brain (distant metastasis)
When cancer cells are found in parts of the body that are far from the original tumor, the cancer has metasticized [meh-TAS-tah-sized]. If this has happened, a person is said to have metastatic [meh-tah-STATIC] cancer.
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body.
Refers to a cancer that has spread through the bloodstream or the lymph node system from one part of the body to another.
spread of cancer from an organ or tissue of origin to another part of the body.
When cells that can travel through the lymph vessels or blood vessels lodge in some distant organ and grow into tumors, they are called metastasis. There are two major routes of metastasis: 1) hematogenous, in which the cells travel through the blood vessels, and 2) lymphogenous, in which the lymphatic vessels conduct the cancer cells. In the case of lymphogenous metastasis, the metastatic tumors can grow from cancers cells entrapped in the lymph nodes that collect the lymph draining from the organ where the original cancer has developed. Most malignant tumors spread both ways, but prefer to spread one way more often.
When cancer has spread from one body part to another.
Cancer that has metastasized, in other words, spread to other parts of the body.
(met-uh- stat-ick): a way to describe cancer that has spread from the primary site (where it started) to other structures or organs, nearby or far away (distant). See also primary site, metastasis.
a tumor that has transfered from one organ (or part) to another not directly connected to it. See also Cancer.
Refers to cancers in which there has been spreading to distant parts of the body from the original or primary site of the tumor.
