Cancer spreading: Metastatic is the medical term used to mean cancer is spreading to other organs. One way that cancer spreads is through the lymphatic drainage system (like veins that circulate the fluid in your tissues). A "metastatic node" means that cancer cells were detected in that lymph node, indicating the cancer has spread. This increases the stage of the cancer (making it more advanced).
