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.

What does a malignant tumor require to grow and spread?
A malignant tumor requires a blood supply and nutrients to grow and spread.
How do cancer tumors spread?
Cancer tumors can spread through a process called metastasis, where cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to form new tumors in other parts of the body. This can make the cancer more difficult to treat and control.
What is a tumor called if it can invade and destroy the surrounding healthy tissue?
A tumor that can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue is called malignant or cancerous tumor. This type of tumor has the ability to spread to other parts of the body.
What are visceral metastases?
Visceral metastases are cancer cells that have spread from the primary tumor to organs like the liver, lungs, or brain. This can happen through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Visceral metastases can significantly impact treatment options and the overall prognosis for a person with cancer.
What happens when the cells reproduce out of control?
When cells reproduce out of control, it can lead to the formation of a mass of cells called a tumor. If the tumor is benign, it is not cancerous and typically does not spread to other parts of the body. However, if the tumor is malignant, it is cancerous and can invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis.
What is the Mortality rate of krukenberg tumor?
A Krukenburg tumor is a rare sort of ovarian cancer. The prognosis for this type of tumor is very poor. Once diagnosed, a person has an average survival rate of 14 months.
What is the name for the tumor in the lymphatic system?
lymphoma
What is modes of transmission?
Cancer can be transmitted by a number of routes; 1. Local Invasion to the surrounding tissue. 2. Lymphatic spread, sometime cancer cell will move from the site of origin by lymphatic circulation to a distant regional lymph nodes. 3. Hematological spread, some forms of cancers can be transmitted from the original site to a distal location by the way of venous circulation. 4. During surgery, sometime cancer cells will spread to a remote place during surgery, either by direct contact to the tumor, contaminated instruments and gloves, or to the site of incision. 5. Kissing mode, this mode of transmission found when you have a direct contact withe the cancer itself, for example cancer in the lower lip may spread to the upper limb, or cancer in the labia majora may spread to other vicinity around the vulva. 6. Transcolonic spread, the best example for this type of cancer is Krukenberg cancer, which is a secondary ovarian tumor, it's primary site is usually adeno carcinoma of the stomach.
Can a benign tumor spread to a lymph node?
A benign tumor does not spread. If a tumor spreads, it is malignant.
What is the medical term meaning tumor of lymphatic system?
Lymphoma
What is the medical term meaning malignant tumor of the lymphatic system?
lymphoma
What is a tumor called that don't spread?
Benign is a tumor that doesn't spread to nearby tissues.
What does metastisize mean?
It means to spread, as in a diseased tumor as it spreads to other parts of the body. So if someone had cancer of the stomach, it could spread (metastisize) to the lungs and start growing there as well as the stomach.
What does a malignant tumor require to grow and spread?
A malignant tumor requires a blood supply and nutrients to grow and spread.
Can invade surrounding tissues including blood vessels and the lymphatic system?
malignant tumor
What are metastatic deposits on the spine?
A metastatic deposit is the spread of cancer from the primary tumor. This spread is done via blood or lymph fluid.
What tumors do NOT spread to other regions of the body?
From what I have learned, a benign-tumor is a type of tumor that remains encapsulated and does not spread. While there are cancerous tumors, such ans brain tumors that do not spread and are encapsulated, the most common answer to this question is Benign Tumor.
