Micrometastasis is a very small deposit of cancer cells that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to another location. It is usually too small to be felt on exam or seen on routine imaging. It is most commonly discussed in pathology reports, especially when lymph nodes are examined after surgery. It can influence cancer staging and the way clinicians estimate recurrence risk.
