What is the term for the spread of cancer cell throughout a body?
I believe the spreading of cancer to other parts of the body is called, "Metastation"!
Can Thyroid cancer spread to the parathyroid gland?
Yes, thyroid cancer can spread to nearby structures including the parathyroid gland. This is known as direct extension of the cancer. It is important to carefully manage and monitor thyroid cancer to prevent such spread and to detect and treat it early if it does occur.
The dispersal of odors is partially due to a property of gases known as?
diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of gas molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which allows odors to spread through the air. This process helps disperse odors throughout a space and allows us to perceive them from a distance.
What is Matastasis?
Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from the original site to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This process allows cancer to grow and invade other organs, making it more difficult to treat. Treatment for metastatic cancer often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted drug therapy.
Which type of cancer is the fastest growing?
The type of cancer that spreads the fastest is known as "small cell lung cancer" (SCLC). SCLC is an aggressive form of lung cancer that tends to grow and spread rapidly. It accounts for about 10-15% of all lung cancer cases. Small cell lung cancer has a high tendency to metastasize, meaning it can quickly spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, brain, bones, and adrenal glands. By the time SCLC is diagnosed, it often has already spread beyond the lungs to distant sites. Due to its aggressive nature and tendency to metastasize early, small-cell lung cancer is usually treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Despite these treatments, the overall prognosis for small cell lung cancer is often less favorable compared to other types of lung cancer, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment.
What is metastasized?
Cancer that can move throughout the body and spread to other organs
One of the dangerous properties of cancer cells is that they?
The most deadly property of cancer cells is their ability to spread and metastasize.

Is there any relation between breast cancer and cancer of the uterus and cancer of the thyroids?
The main reason that breast cancer is so dangerous is that it can spread throughout the entire body. The lymphatic system could easily spread the cancer to thyroid, uterus, lungs, or anywhere else. It is the metastasizing that is the main concern for breast cancer.
What is Radioimmunotherapy?
Radioimmunotherapy is a promising way to treat cancer that has spread (metastasized) to multiple locations throughout the body
Where did Jackie Onassis' cancer spread to?
The cancer started in the lymph node, but quickly began to spread, since lymph nodes are located throughout the human bodies. Cancerous cells spread throughout a patient's body, destroying the function of healthy cells. If too many cells die like this, organ failure and death result.
What is the name of the process of malignant cells moving throughout the body is called?
The process of malignant cells moving throughout the body is called metastasis. Metastasis allows cancer cells to spread from the primary tumor to other parts of the body, where they can form new tumors.
Can you describe the rate at which cancer cells divide?
Cancer cells can divide rapidly and uncontrollably, leading to the growth of tumors. This rapid division is a key characteristic of cancer and can contribute to the spread of the disease throughout the body.
What word refers to the ability of some cancer cells to spread throughout the body forming tumors?
Metastasize.
Can you have cancer spread from thyroid cancer removal?
There is a chance that when surgery was done to remove the thyroid, the cancer may have spread already. If the cancer hadn't spread before surgery was done, there should be no spread.
What caused Bob Marley's fatal brain tumor?
He did not seek treatment for the cancer that developed in his toe. When he finally did, it it believed the cancer had spread throughout his body making recovery nearly impossible.
Do biopsies cause prostate cancer to spread?
There is no evidence showing that the biopsy will spread prostate cancer if cancer is present. And even if it was the case that a biopsy may spread the cancer, the benefits of detecting the cancer far outwieghs the possibility of the cancer being spread around. I mean, finding out that there is cancer means that treatment can commence. By not finding out that you have cancer, it will still eventually spread all on its own anyway.
