Metastases is a research area that focuses on understanding the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor to other parts of the body. This process, known as metastasis, is a significant factor in the progression and severity of cancer, as it allows cancer cells to infiltrate and grow in other organs and tissues. Researchers in this field study the mechanisms and pathways involved in metastasis, as well as potential strategies to prevent or treat metastatic cancer. The goal of this research is to develop more effective treatments and improve outcomes for patients with metastatic cancer.
