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 as
Cabozantinib.
