Cancer

How Does Cancer Disseminate Rapidly?

There are several mechanisms through which cancer can disseminate quickly:
Genetic mutations: Certain mutations can enhance the mobility and invasiveness of cancer cells, promoting faster spread.
Angiogenesis: The formation of new blood vessels can provide cancer cells with the nutrients and pathways they need to spread more rapidly.
Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT): This process allows epithelial cells to acquire mesenchymal properties, aiding in migration and invasion.
Tumor microenvironment: The surrounding environment of the tumor can influence its ability to disseminate.
