Metastasis is the process by which cancer cells spread from a primary tumor to form new tumors in distant sites. It indicates progression of disease and is central to staging and prognosis. The term combines Greek roots referring to change in place and displacement. In medical contexts, it is used to describe metastatic spread rather than localized cancer.
