The word "metastasis" can be broken down into "meta-" meaning beyond or change, and "-stasis" meaning standing still or stopping. Together, "metastasis" refers to the spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another.
I believe the spreading of cancer to other parts of the body is called, "Metastation"!
Invasion of cancer cells refers to the ability of cancer cells to penetrate and spread into nearby tissues. Metastasis, on the other hand, involves the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor to distant organs or tissues in the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Metastasis is a more advanced stage of cancer progression and is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
The process of cell division known as metastasis is responsible for cancer cells spreading to distant sites in the body. During metastasis, cancer cells break away from the primary tumor, invade nearby tissues, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and form new tumors in other parts of the body.
Metastasis
malignant
The word metastasis is singular, metastases is plural.
There is also a special type of metastasis that can occur regionally with malignant melanoma; it is known as an in-transit metastasis.
Metastasis is the spread of a disease from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part.

They can die from metastasis to lungs leading to respiratory distress or neck metastasis
Metastasis
A tumor that has spread has metastasized, and is a metastatic tumor. The new sites of tumor growth are called metastases (singular metastasis).The process of metastasis is the process of tumour cells breaking away from the primary tumour and spreading to other parts of the body. The 4 main sites of metastasis are the brain, bones, liver and lungs. Metastatic tumours spread to these organs causing considerable harm to them. The naturopathic approach to controlling metastasis is salvestrol therapy. Anti-metastatic drugs are in clinical trials such asCabozantinib.A tumor that has spread has metastasized, and is a metastatic tumor.

the lungs are where things start getting small enough to clog and hold a metastasis
