Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Area of Science:

Oncology Nursing
Cancer Metastasis Research

Background:

Liver metastases represent a critical stage in cancer progression.
Effective management of liver metastases is essential for patient survival.

Observation:

The clinical presentation of liver metastases is highly variable.
Diagnostic workup protocols for liver metastases require careful consideration.
Treatment strategies for liver metastases are diverse and patient-specific.

Findings:

Each patient with liver metastases presents a distinct clinical scenario.
Oncology nurses play a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary care of these patients.

Implications:

Tailored nursing interventions are crucial for optimizing outcomes in patients with liver metastases.
Further research into standardized yet individualized care pathways for liver metastases is warranted.
