Metastatic Lung Cancer The lymph system is made up of vessels that carry fluids and support the immune system. When cancer cells travel to other organs in the body, it’s called metastasis. Metastatic lung cancer is a life-threatening condition that develops when cancer in another area of the body metastasizes, or spreads, to the lung. Cancer that develops at any primary site can form metastatic tumors. These tumors are capable of metastasizing to the lungs.

Metastasis When the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, it is called metastatic cancer. The liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and bones are common areas of spread or metastasis. Even when cancer spreads to a new location, it is still named after the area of the body where it started.

Cancer Metastasis is the spread of cancer to other locations in the body. The new tumors are called metastatic tumors, while the original is called the primary tumor. Almost all cancers can metastasize. Most cancer deaths are due to cancer that has spread from its primary site to other organs (metastasized).

Metastasis Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body, yet is typically spoken of as such spread by a cancerous tumor. The newly pathological sites, then, are metastases (mets). Cancer occurs after cells are genetically altered to proliferate rapidly and indefinitely.

- Cells from the primary tumor can break off and lodge elsewhere in the body where they then grow into secondary tumors. This process is called metastasis and a cancer which has spread to other organs is called metastatic.. When cancer spreads to another organ, the type of cancer remains the type of the primary tumor.

- Cancer that begins in an organ, such as the lungs, breast, or prostate, and then spreads to bone is called metastatic bone disease (MBD). More than 1.2 million new cancer cases are diagnosed each year. Approximately 50% of these tumors can spread (metastasize) to the skeleton.

Metastasis After the tumor cells come to rest at another site, they re-penetrate the vessel or walls and continue to multiply, eventually forming another clinically detectable tumor. This new tumor is known as a metastatic (or secondary) tumor. Metastasis is one of three hallmarks of malignancy (contrast benign tumors). Most neoplasms can metastasize, although in varying degrees (e.g., basal cell carcinoma rarely metastasize).

What is metastatic cancer? Distant means the cancer is in a part of the body farther from where it started. Doctors usually use the term metastatic cancer to describe cancer that has spread to distant organs or distant lymph nodes (called distant metastases). The most common sites of distant metastases are the bones, brain, liver and lungs.

What Is Cancer? The metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if malignant mesothelioma spreads to the brain, the cancer cells in the brain are actually malignant mesothelioma cells. The disease is metastatic malignant mesothelioma, not brain cancer.
