👉 Metastasis, also known as metastatic hyperplasia or metastatic cancer, is a process where malignant cells spread beyond their original site of origin and invade neighboring tissues. This can occur in various organs, including the brain, lung, breast, prostate, and colon, among others. Metastases are often accompanied by symptoms such as pain, fever, nausea, or chills, which may indicate a more advanced stage of cancer progression.
