Metastasis


We've now learned about five of the six common signs of cancer.:
- Cell Growth where the cells grow too big too fast.
- Anti-Growth Signals where the cells don't listen to the body telling them to stop growing.
- Avoiding Apoptosis where the cells don't listen to the body telling them it's time to go away.
- Limitless Replication where the cells keep dividing forever.

- Sustained Angiogenesis where the body keeps making new fresh blood vessels for the cancer to use.

The sixth of the signs of cancer is Metastasis.

This is when cancer spreads to other parts of the body.
