Signs of Skin Cancer that Has Metastasized
Metastasized is when the cancer has spread from the original origin of the cancer area. Metastasized cancer is when it goes to other areas of the body. Basically, that means that the second cancerous tumor is the same type of cancer as the first one even if it is in another area of the body. Cancer can be spread through the blood, tissue, and the lymph system. Staging is the process in finding out where the cancer has spread to. There are many signs that show when skin cancer has metastasized, and you should alert your doctor immediately if found.
