What are the types of metastasis?

Metastasis can be classified into three main types: hematogenous, where cancer cells spread through the bloodstream to distant organs; lymphatic, where cancer spreads through the lymphatic system to nearby lymph nodes; and transcoelomic, which involves the spread of cancer cells across body cavities, such as the peritoneum. Each type reflects different pathways and mechanisms by which cancer can disseminate from its original site.
