Several factors can influence the metastatic potential of cancer cells, including:
Genetic Mutations: Certain mutations can make cancer cells more aggressive and likely to spread. Microenvironment: The surrounding tissue and cells can either support or inhibit metastasis. Immune System: A weakened immune system may not be able to effectively target and destroy cancer cells. Angiogenesis: The ability of cancer cells to induce the formation of new blood vessels is crucial for supplying nutrients to the metastatic tumors.
