Question

what is metastatic cancer

Answer 1

In metastasis, cancer cells break away from where they first formed (primary cancer), travel through the blood or lymph system, and form new tumors (metastatic tumors) in other parts of the body. The metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor.

Answer 2

Cancer can spread from where it started to another part of the body. The original cancer is called the primary tumour. The cancer in another part of the body is called metastatic, or secondary, cancer. Metastatic cancer has the same type of cancer cells as the primary cancer. For example, when colon cancer spreads to the liver, the cancer cells in the liver are colon cancer cells. It is metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer.

Metastatic cancer is also called:

metastatic tumour, tumours or diseasemetastasis (one cancerous tumour)tumour)
