Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metastasis refers to the spread of disease from one organ to another. While metastasis is commonly associated with malignant tumors, it can also occur in other diseases such as infections or autoimmune disorders. Option A is too narrow as metastasis can also refer to benign tumors that have spread. Option B is too specific and not a general definition of metastasis. Option C is also too narrow as metastasis can refer to any type of tumor, not just infiltrating ones. Option E is not accurate as there is no evidence to suggest that tumors and growths are attracted to neural tissue specifically.
