Several factors can contribute to the dispersion of cancer, including:
Genetic mutations: Certain genetic changes in cancer cells can enhance their ability to spread. Tumor microenvironment: The environment surrounding a tumor, including blood vessels and immune cells, can influence cancer spread. Cellular properties: Characteristics such as cell adhesion, motility, and ability to degrade extracellular matrix can affect dispersion. Immune system interactions: The immune system's response to cancer cells can either suppress or facilitate their spread.
