Question 1 pts
A nurse is describing the process of metastasis. Which is necessary in
order for metastasis to occur?
Decreased cellular motility
Correct! Decreased cell adhesions
Metastasis requires decreased cell adhesions, increased motility,
and the presence of lymphatic or blood vessels.
, Proximity to body cavities
Question 2 pts
An oncologist is discussing the process of metastasis. Which information
should the oncologist include? For metastasis to occur,
tumor cells must be capable of:
withstanding extreme temperatures.
detecting elevated calcium levels.
Correct! surviving in the bloodstream.
Cancers often spread first to regional lymph nodes through the
lymphatics and then to distant organs through the bloodstream.
eliminating lymph nodes.

(RB) gene, normally strongly inhibits the cell division
cycle.
