Like other cancers, distal cancers can metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. The pathways for metastasis can include:
Direct Extension: The cancer can grow directly into nearby tissues and organs. Lymphatic Spread: Cancer cells can travel through the lymphatic system to lymph nodes and other parts of the body. Hematogenous Spread: Cancer cells can enter the bloodstream and travel to distant organs, such as the liver, lungs, or bones.
