metastazeaz

Metastazeaz is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a non-standard variation related to the biological process of metastasis. Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the primary site where they first formed to another part of the body. In a healthy body, cells grow and divide in a controlled manner. When cancer develops, cells begin to grow uncontrollably. These abnormal cells can then break away from the original tumor.

Once detached, cancer cells can travel through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system, which are the body's natural transport systems. If these traveling cancer cells find a suitable environment in a new location, they can begin to grow and form new tumors, known as secondary tumors or metastatic tumors. This process is what defines cancer that has spread.

The development of metastasis is a complex biological process involving several steps. These include the detachment of cancer cells from the primary tumor, invasion of surrounding tissues, entry into blood or lymphatic vessels, survival in circulation, and finally, extravasation into a new organ and subsequent proliferation to form a secondary tumor. Metastasis is a major cause of death from cancer, as it can affect vital organs and make the cancer more difficult to treat. Medical professionals typically refer to this process as metastasis.
