Usually in reference to cancer: to spread, especially destructively.
(me-TASS-tah-size) to form a new focus of a disease (e.g., cancer) in another part of the body by the process of metastasis.
The process by which tumor cells spread to other parts of the body.
The process in which cancer can travel from one section of the body to another through the lymphatic system or the bloodstream.
The term used to describe a cancer that is moving through the lymph nodes or bloodstream to other parts of the body.
spread throughout the body; "the cancer had metastasized and the patient could not be saved"
To spread throughout the body (said of cancer cells).
Spreading of the disease throughout the body.
To spread from the first (primary) cancer site to other sites in the body.
to spread cancer cells to distant areas of the body by way of the lymph system or the bloodstream.
When cancer cells spread from one part of the body to another, forming a secondary tumor.
To spread from the first cancer site—such as breast cancer spreading to the bone.
when a cancerous growth invades a healthy organ or tissue from a diseased organ or tissue
To spread from the first cancer site, for example, breast cancer that spreads to the bone. MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) A sophisticated test that provides in-depth images of organs and structures in the body.
Metastasize means to spread to another part of the body, sometimes shortened to `mets'.
The spread from one part of the body to another. When cancer cells metastasize and cause secondary tumors, the cells in the metastatic tumor are like those in the original cancer. See the entire definition of Metastasize
To spread from the first cancer site, such as bone cancer spreading to the lung.
me-TAS-tah-size] The spread of cancer cells from the original tumor to a distant site.
The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another.
Spread of a malignant tumor to other parts of the body. See metastasis.
To spread to another part of the body, usually through the blood vessels, lymph channels, or spinal fluid.
to spread from one part of the body to another, as in cancer
To spread to distant organs (refers to the spread of cancer).
To form new sites of cancer in different organs or tissues not directly connected with the original cancerous tumor.
To spread or travel from one part of the body to another; a term usually reserved to describe the spread of malignant tumors.
To spread to another part of the body via blood vessels, lymph channels, or other means.
to spread from one part of the body to another. When cancer cells metastasize and form secondary tumors, the cells in the metastatic tumor are like those in the original (primary) tumor.
The breaking away of cancer cells from the original tumor, settling elsewhere in the body and forming a new tumor.
To spread from one part of the body to another. Cancer is said to metastasize when it spreads from the primary site of origin to a distant anatomical site.
The spread of cancer cells from the original tumor to distant parts of the body
when cancer cells spread to other parts of the body.
(meh- tas-tuh-size): the spread of cancer cells to one or more sites elsewhere in the body, often by way of the lymph system or bloodstream. See also metastasis, lymph system.
(me-TASS-tah-size) To spread disease from one part of the body to another.
When cancer spreads from its original location to other parts of the body.
