title: [Current knowledge about metastatic neoplasms].
abstract: The best knowledge of the biological and genetic mechanism involved in the process of metastasizing must determine the attempt of elaborating new therapeutical modalities. The authors show the sequential events of the metastasizing process based on the most recent theories, underlining the way the organotropism of the neoplastic cells can be the explanation of the otherwise inexplicable metastases.
