Cancer cells that break free from the primary tumor can metastasize via the lymph system. Non-metastasized cancer is easier to treat.
A mass of cancer cells form a tumor.
Cancer cells can form tumors in other tissues through a process called metastasis, where they break away from the primary tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and invade other organs or tissues in the body. They can then proliferate and grow in these new locations, forming secondary tumors.
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.
If cells do not know when to stop dividing, they can continue to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to the formation of a tumor. This uncontrolled growth can result in the development of cancer.

A mass of diseased cells is a tumor.
Cancer cells can become a tumor when growing in a disk. This is not always the case.
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.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine produced to stimulate macrophages and induce cell death in cancer cells. It plays a role in the immune response against cancer by promoting inflammation and cell death in tumor cells.
