Kaposi's sarcoma like lesion in athymic mouse - nude mouse. This lesion was induced by metabolically active cells 4x10(6) injected subcutaneously. Arrow indicated positive result. Left side was injected with fixed cells. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

The metastatic colony is the end result of a complicated multistep process. The tumor cells from a primary tumor invade local tissue and gain access to the venous circulation (intravasation). Circulating tumor cells, singly or in clumps, are transported to target organs where they lodge in the capillary bed. Thus arrested, these tumor cells penetrate the endothelial cell lining and the underlining basement membrane to exit the circulation (extravasation). They then grow as a metastatic colony, a development that requires new blood vessels (neovascularization). To complete this multistep process, the tumor cells must overcome the host's defenses. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.
