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...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETT) can spread to the heart, mimicking other cardiac conditions. Early diagnosis using advanced imaging is crucial for effective treatment and distinguishing metastasis from cardiomyopathy.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Oncology
Radiology

Background:

Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETT) are rare anterior mediastinal neoplasms.
NETT possess a significant potential for aggressive metastasis.

Keywords:

cardiac metastases cardiac mri myocardial thickening neuroendocrine tumor thymus
