Cancer Metastasis:

Cancer metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumor to distant sites, forming secondary tumors.

The process involves three main steps:

Invasion – cancer cells infiltrate surrounding tissues.
Circulation – cells enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
Colonization – cells establish new tumors in distant organs.
