Gloassary term:

Metastasis

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumour to distant sites in the body, forming secondary tumours. This phenomenon is crucial in clinical practice as it significantly influences prognosis, treatment decisions, and the overall management of cancer patients. A key association is the development of metastatic disease in organs such as the liver or lungs, which often complicates treatment and worsens patient outcomes.
