Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Metastases means that there is some cancer in the body which has spread in other adjacent/distant parts causing symptoms. e.g If person has prostate cancer and later atypical tumor cells appear in bone then we say that CA prostate has metastasized to bone.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
