Final answer:

Metastasis is the term that refers to the process of how cancer spreads from one place to another.


Step-by-step explanation:

The term that means 'the process of how cancer spreads from one place to another' is metastasis.

Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from the original site (primary tumor) to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. It is a key characteristic of malignant tumors.

For example, if someone has breast cancer and cancer cells from the primary tumor travel through the blood vessels to the lungs and form new tumors there, it is called metastasis.
