INVASION AND METASTASES Metastasis Metastasis, the spread of cancer from the area of primary tumor development to distant organs, is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, tumor progression is marked by the selection for more aggressive populations of cells within a tumor. Coupled with changes in environment, including change of the CAMs, these cells will potentially have the ability to leave the primary tumor site. Modes of Cancer Spread The two typical methods of spread are through the lymphatic drainage system and the vasculature (hematogenous).

BASIC SCIENCE CONCEPTS allows access to the basement membrane. The tumor cell then interacts with the ECM and basement membrane through CAMs and binding molecules, releasing proteases to lyse the matrix proteins and enter the tissue parenchyma. 6. Micrometastasis formation. Following extravasation of a tumor cell into the parenchyma, it will often find itself in a microenvironment that differs from its normally associated tissue. Therefore, in order for the cell to survive and grow to form a micrometastasis, it must be able to respond to growth factors found within its new environment, or be independent in producing its own growth factor (a hallmark of most tumor cells).

2. Parallel opposed pair photon beam. When two radiation beams oppose each other, a more uniform radiation dose is delivered. Some heterogeneity of delivered dose still occurs at the superficial surfaces (both anterior and posterior) due to buildup; however, when compared to a single beam of radiation, the build-up region is smaller given the exit dose of the opposite beam. 3. Wedged-pair photon beam. Wedged-pair beams can be used to treat relatively superficial tumors, while sparing the contralateral volume of interest.
