áttételt

Áttételt is a Hungarian term that translates to "metastasis" in English, referring to the spread of cancer cells from their original location to a new site in the body. This process occurs when cancer cells detach from the primary tumor, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and travel to distant organs or tissues. Once these cells reach a new area, they can begin to multiply and form a secondary tumor.

The development of áttételt is a crucial factor in the progression of cancer and significantly impacts treatment outcomes and prognosis. The common sites for metastasis include the lungs, liver, bones, and brain, though the specific locations depend on the type of primary cancer. For example, breast cancer often metastasizes to the bones, while lung cancer may spread to the brain.

Detecting and treating áttételt is a primary goal in cancer management. Various diagnostic tools, such as imaging scans (CT, MRI, PET scans) and biopsies, are used to identify metastatic disease. Treatment strategies are tailored to the individual patient and the extent of metastasis, often involving a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapies. The presence of áttételt generally indicates a more advanced stage of cancer, making treatment more challenging.
