Metastasis is a process where a cancer gains the ability to send pieces (cells) out to other areas in the body, and, instead of dying (as our cells appropriately do when they are in the wrong part of the body), the cancer cells survive and start new tumors. Metastasis can end up almost anywhere in the body. Melanomas tend to spread to the liver, lungs, or brain.
