Metastasis

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Metastasis is the spread of a malignant tumour from its original site to a distant one.

Show

The prefix meta names change or beyond, and stasis names a standing or position.

Watch for

A metastatic tumour keeps the name of its original site, whatever tissue it now sits in.
