Answer:

B spread to other parts of the body

Step-by-step explanation:

although tumors have the ability to grow and expand it takes years if undetected. But tumors can spread through the bloodstream. Cancer cells can go into small blood vessels and then get into the bloodstream. They are called circulating tumour cells or CTCs.

Answer:

B. spread to other parts of the body

Step-by-step explanation:

Malignant tumors can grow quickly and spread to other parts of the body in a process called metastasis. The cancer cells that move to other parts of the body are the same as the original ones, but they have the ability to invade other organs.
