Metastasis allows rogue cancer to violently invade distant tissues

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

A tumor is annoying when it stays in one place, but it becomes an absolute catastrophe when it learns how to travel. Metastasis happens when mutant cells detach from the primary location, slip into the transport networks, and set up shop in completely unrelated organs. It is biological colonization at its absolute worst, aggressively turning localized issues into full-scale systemic disasters.
