Why does cancer metastasize in humans? How can metastatic cancer in humans be prevented? How can metastatic cancer in humans be cured? Background: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) published Fact Sheet entitled Metastatic Cancer states that most types of metastatic cancer cannot be cured with current treatments and MOST PEOPLE WHO DIE OF CANCER DIE OF METASTATIC DISEASE. The NCI published definition of the term “metastasis” (meh-TAS-tuh-sis) states that it means spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. A tumor formed by cells that have spread is called a “metastatic tumor” or a “metastasis.”
