Progression in Invasion and Metastasis
Appearance of Primary Tumor (Neoplasia in situ)
Vascularization (Angiogenesis)
Invasion
• Into surrounding tissue
• Into vascular and lymphatic systems
Release of Tumor Emboli (Shedding)
Systemic Transport
• Hematogenous
• Lymphatic
Arrest at Distant Site
Secondary Invasion: Extravasation
Secondary Angiogenesis
Secondary Invasion
Tertiary Spread
Release of Tumor Emboli
and Tumor Cell Shedding
Invasion through thin anaplastic venous walls in tumor
Facilitated by:
• Local trauma
• Diagnostic procedures
• Surgery
• Manipulation
Emboli (small clumps of cells)
• Favored for survival by protection of inner cells
• Surrounded by fibrin clot
• May protect embolus while in circulation
• May facilitate survival of tumor cells at secondary tumor
arrest site
Routes of Systemic Spread
of Tumor Emboli and Tumor Cells
Direct Extension Across Organ and Body Cavities
• Peritoneal Cavity
• Pleural Linings
• Peri-cardial Space
• Cerebrospinal Cavity
Lymphatic Spread:
•
Lymphatic capillaries to regional lymph nodes
Hematogenous Spread: Entry via
• Lymphatic drainage into circulation
• Abnormal blood vessels in tumors
• Tumor cell deformability and motility
Arrest and Extravasation
Arrest of Tumor Emboli and Tumor Cells at
Distant Sites
Predilection for Specific Organ Sites
• Depends only partly on anatomical and circulatory
relationships
• Specific Organ Homing Based on Cell Adhesion
Recognition
Cell-Cell and Cell-Connective Tissue Adherence
• Plasma membrane ligands on metastatic tumor cells
• Cell adhesion receptors on endothelial lining of capillaries
in target organs
• Binding to laminin and fibronectin in extra-cellular
connective tissue matrix
Extravasation Facilitated by Clot Formation
