Lymphatic System.
The root word of lymphoma is "lymph," which refers to the fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system, a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. "Oma" means tumor or mass, so when combined, lymphoma refers to a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system.
Metastasis first occurs when the tumor actually stops growing. At this point when the growth of the tumor stops, the cancer cells break away from the original tumor. When the cells leave the original tumor they travel through the blood stream and lymphatic system, and move to the new location.
Lymphatic spread in Krukenberg tumor is believed to occur through direct invasion of lymphatic vessels by cancer cells in the ovaries and subsequent spread to regional lymph nodes. The tumor cells may enter the lymphatic vessels in the stroma of the ovary and metastasize to lymph nodes in the pelvic and abdominal regions. This mode of spread can lead to further dissemination of cancer cells to distant sites in the body.
The lymphatic system is so important because if your lymphatic system does not work then that is where all of the bacteria comes out from. if your lymphatic system does not work then your lymph nodes will not work then that is where the bacteria is suppose to be taken out but if it is not there then you will have germs in your body that is why your lymphatic system is so important.
There isn't another name for the Lymphatic System, although the Lymphatic System is closely related to the Immune System because both fight germs. Collectively, they are called the Immunolymphatic System.
