What is another word for intravasation?
Pronunciation: [ˌɪntɹəvɐsˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Intravasation refers to the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumor into nearby blood vessels. Some synonyms for intravasation include cancer cell invasion, vascular invasion, and intraluminal tumor cell infiltration. Other related terms include angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels to supply the growing tumor, and metastasis, which is when cancer cells break away from the primary tumor and spread to other parts of the body. Understanding the mechanism of intravasation is crucial in developing effective cancer treatment strategies, particularly those that target the spread of cancer cells through blood and lymphatic vessels.
