Question

Metastasis is ?

• A. Rapid division in cancer cells
• B. Regeneration of cancer cells
• C. Spread of cancer cells to new sites
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Spread of cancer cells to new sites

Metastasis is a cancerous spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body. It is typically seen in case of malignant tumours which undergo rapid cell division. When tumour cells metastasize, the new tumour is called a secondary or a metastatic tumour and its cells are similar to those in the original or a primary tumour.

So, the correct answer is- spread of cancer cells to new sites.
