Did you mean Metastasis?

GlossaryMetastasis

spread of cancer cells to distant body parts

Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from the original (primary) tumor to other parts of the body, forming new (secondary) tumors. This occurs when cancer cells break away, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and establish new tumors in organs or tissues different from the initial site.
