Description

This is In honor of all of the fallen!

Metastasis
 is the spread of a cancer from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ. 



Cancer
 occurs after a single cell in a tissue is progressively genetically damaged to produce cells with uncontrolled proliferation. This uncontrolled proliferation, mitosis, produces a primary heterogeneic tumour. The cells which constitute the tumor eventually undergo metaplasia, followed by dysplasia then anaplasia, resulting in a malignant phenotype. This malignant phenotype allows for intravasation into the circulation, followed byextravasation to a second site for tumorigenesis.
