Cancer cells can break away from a primary tumor, penetrate into lymphatic and blood vessels, circulate through the bloodstream, and grow in a distant focus (metastasize) in normal tissues elsewhere in the body.

According to recent research, the most common solid tumors (that is, cancer that occurs as clusters of cells in or on organs, rather than in liquid form within the blood or lymphatic system) have up to 66 mutations that influence how the cancer cells operate — how fast they divide, whether they are susceptible to the signals that would normally cause a cell to die, when they detach from the main tumor to colonize another organ in the body, when and where they attach blood vessels to healthy tissues.

They found that decreased presence of lymphatic vessels and reduced immune cytotoxicity were more strongly associated with the metastatic process than tumor - intrinsic factors such as chromosomal instability or cancer - associated mutations.

Metastatic tumors develop when cancer cells spread from another area of cancer by breaking away from the primary tumor and traveling through the body by way of the blood, lymphatic vessels or membranous surfaces.

Melody A. Swartz, PhD, the University of Chicago, «Tumor - Associated Lymphatic Vessels Modulate the Stromal Microenvironment to Promote Tumor Invasion»

His studies revealed that the blood and lymphatic vasculature, fibroblasts, immune cells and the extracellular matrix associated with tumors are abnormal, collectively creating a hostile tumor microenvironment characterized by hypoxia, low pH and high interstitial fluid pressure.

As fast growing tumor mass lacks a functioning lymphatic system, clearance of these nanoparticles is limited and further enhances the accumulation.
