How cancer spreads through the body
Liver cancer cell

The destruction of collagen is also key to the spread of
cancer and the formation of tumours in other bodily
organs, a process known as metastasis.
1. Stages of metastasis:
With the aid of the collagen-destroying enzymes,
cancer cells eat their way into a blood vessel and are
transported through the body by the bloodstream
until they reach other organs such as the lungs.
2. Stages of metastasis:
With the aid of the same collagen-destroying enzymes,
cancer cells eat their way back out of the blood vessel
and enter the organ’s tissues.
Lung metastasis:
The liver cancer cell proliferates to form a
new tumour in the lung.
The more collagen-destroying enzymes a type of
cancer produces the more likely metastasis is and the
more malignant the cancer.
