    GlossaryCancer Progression

    process where cancer cells grow, spread, and become more aggressive

    Cancer progression, also known as tumor progression or neoplasm progression, refers to the process by which cancer cells grow, spread, and become more aggressive over time. This involves a series of genetic and cellular changes that enable the tumor to invade surrounding tissues, evade the immune system, and potentially metastasize to distant organs. Understanding cancer progression is crucial for developing effective treatments and improving patient outcomes.
