Metastasis is a form of tumor spreading in which tissue from a malignant tumor "travels" to other organs in the body through the bloodstream. The capacity for Metastasis is a characteristic of all malignant tumors. Metastatic brain tumors typically originate from sites other than the brain, most frequently the lung or the breast.
Metastatic tumors refer to growths that arise secondarily to cancerous tumors that have their primary site in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, breasts, or the lymphatic system. The secondary growths arise because cancer cells from the primary neoplasm detach and travel to other sites through the blood system.
Metencephalon refers to one of the five (5) principal divisions of the brain, part of the brainstem.
