Spread (Metastasis) of Cancer of Maxillary Sinus & Paranasal Sinuses
Cancer cells never restrict themselves to an area; they may travel to far and distant places! This is termed metastasis.This can be by different routes:
- Tissue: The cancer starts to invade the adjacent normal tissue
- Lymphatic system: Lymph vessels (these are tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells) to other parts of the body may serve as carriers of cancer cells.
- Blood: Cancer cells invade veins, capillaries and reach different areas.
