Metastasis is a term indicating that cancer has become decentralized within the body. The spread (metastasizing) occurs generally though the blood or lymphatic system, increasing the stage of the cancer and decreasing treatment options for the patient. Cells in the metastasized cancer are generally of the same type as those in the original growth.
