Certain cancers have preferred sites for metastasis. For instance, breast cancer commonly spreads to bones, liver, lungs, and brain, while prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to bones. Lung cancer often spreads to the brain and liver, and colon cancer typically targets the liver and lungs. The tendency for certain cancers to metastasize to specific organs is influenced by factors such as blood flow patterns and the molecular characteristics of the cancer cells and host tissue.
