Metastasis is when abnormally function cells spread to different area's of the body. First you need entry into the bloodstream of the lymphatic vessels. First phase is for the tumor causing cells to break free and cause local invasion. The next phase is where they push out into the bloodstream and metastasis in a small vessicle where they push out into a remote site. They then survive in the foreign tissue which is quite difficult and persistence of growth will cause secondary tumor.
