Question

The term that describes spreading of cancer is:

• C. \( \text{Metastasis} \)
• D. \( \text{Microstasis} \)

Early detection of cancer improves prognosis by preventing metastasis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from their primary site to distant organs or tissues. This occurs when cancer cells enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, allowing them to colonize new regions in the body. It is a major challenge in cancer treatment, leading to secondary tumors.
