tumörspridning
Tumörspridning, also known as metastasis, is the process by which cancer cells spread from their original location, the primary tumor, to other parts of the body. This is a crucial aspect of cancer progression and a major cause of cancer-related mortality. The spread typically occurs through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system, allowing cancer cells to travel to distant organs and form secondary tumors, or metastases.
The process of metastasis involves several steps. First, cancer cells must detach from the primary tumor. They
The likelihood and pattern of tumor spread depend on various factors, including the type of cancer, its
