Hematologist and oncologist Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum practices with Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA) in New Jersey. Possessing more than 30 years of experience in medicine, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum has treated thousands of patients and studied new treatment options for metastatic cancers. Metastasis refers to cancer that has spread from one organ to other parts of the body. This occurs when cancer cells break from the original tumor and move through the lymph system or bloodstream to new locations. Most of the time, cancers of varying types metastasize to the lungs, brain, bones, and liver. However, cancer cells can grow in other areas, including the skin, adrenal gland, and muscle. The location of metastatic cancer largely affects the symptoms a patient experiences. In certain cases, metastasis is not accompanied by any symptoms. Because of this, the condition can be difficult to diagnose if patients do not have a follow-up care plan.
