Key Facts

• Cancer cells can lodge in distant tissues and initiate new tumors that are just as deadly as the original.
• In lymphoma, malignant cells readily travel through lymphatic vessels to infiltrate nearby and distant nodes.
• Unchecked spread eventually destroys enough normal tissue to compromise vital organ function and sustain life.
• The extent of metastasis is a primary determinant of disease prognosis and treatment urgency.
