Neoplasm Metastasis (C0027627)

Definition (MSH)The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site.
Definition (CSP)transfer and growth of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site; the capacity to metastasize is a characteristic of all malignant cancers.
Definition (NCI)Cancer that has spread from the place in which it started to other parts of the body.
Definition (NCI)(meh-TAS-ta-size) 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.
Definition (NCI)Metastasis is the spread or migration of cancer cells from one part of the body (the organ in which it first appeared) to another. The secondary tumor contains cells that are like those in the original (primary) tumor. For example, breast cancer cells may spread (metastasize) to the lungs and cause the growth of a new tumor. When this happens, the disease is called metastatic breast cancer. (NCI)
Definition (NCI)(meh-TAS-ta-sis) The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. A tumor formed from cells that have spread is called a secondary tumor, a metastatic tumor, or a metastasis. The secondary tumor contains cells that are like those in the original (primary) tumor. The plural form of metastasis is metastases (meh-TAS-ta-seez).
Definition (NCI)A malignant tumor that has spread from its original (primary) site of growth to another site close to or distant from the primary site.--2004
Definition (NCI)Cancer that has spread from the place in which it started to other parts of the body.
Definition (NCI)A tumor that has spread from its original (primary) site of growth to another site, close to or distant from the primary site. Metastasis is characteristic of advanced malignancies, but in rare instances can be seen in neoplasms lacking malignant morphology.
