What are the processes involved in cancer metastasis?

[beedog]

1. Hey,

I need some urgent help regarding an assignment. We are given 8 processes: Extravasation, Intravasation, Invasion, Angiogenesis, Differentiation, Migration, Transformation, Circulation and we are meant to talk about them. However, I am unsure at the order that these processes occur.

We are meant to start with the cell becoming cancerous at the beginning and end with the formation of an independent tumour mass at a new location. Any help will be appreciated.3. To the best of my knowledge, the order of events is: Transformation, Differentiation, Angiogenesis, Invasion, Intravasation, Circulation, Migration, Extravasation
