The 24 pages that link to Metastasis, each with the reason it gives.

• ChemotaxisRelated: Chemical cues can influence cancer-cell migration and organ-specific spread.

• Skin cancerRelated: Melanoma and some other skin cancers become life-threatening through distant spread.

• Cancer stagingRelated: Distant spread usually determines the M category and can change the stage substantially.

• Cell adhesionRelated: Altered adhesion can help cancer cells detach, migrate, and establish new growths.

• Clonal evolutionRelated: Disseminated lineages face new environments and undergo further selection.

• Basal cell carcinomaRelated: Distant spread is rare in this cancer, despite its ability to invade locally.

• Breast cancerRelated: Distant spread, rather than growth confined to the breast, causes most breast-cancer deaths.

• Squamous cell carcinomaRelated: Advanced tumors can spread through lymphatic channels or blood vessels.

• Lymphatic capillaryRelated: Some cancers enter nearby lymphatic capillaries and spread through regional lymph nodes.

• Amoeboid movementRelated: Some cancer cells use amoeboid movement to invade tissue and pass through tight spaces.

• ChondrosarcomaRelated: High-grade chondrosarcoma can spread, most often to the lungs.

• SarcomaRelated: Sarcomas commonly spread through the bloodstream, often to the lungs.
