A 52-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a 2-week history of progressive shortness of breath and fatigue. Her pulse is 102/min, respirations are 22/min, and blood pressure is 100/80 mm Hg. Physical examination shows muffled breath sounds. Echocardiography shows a large pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis yields cloudy, serosanguineous fluid. Analysis of the fluid shows an increased protein concentration, numerous RBCs, and a small number of WBCs, indicative of malignancy. Metastasis from which of the following sites is the most likely cause of the findings in this patient? A) Bladder B) Breast C) Colon D) Ovaries E) Stomach

Lorie discovered a lump in her breast while taking a shower. She made an appointment for the following day to have it checked. The end of the week brought bad news as Lorie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lorie then learned that there was lymph node involvement, metastasis, anaplasia and the cells were no longer breast tissue cells in nature (highly undifferentiated). The cancer then caused Lorie's body to have multiple blood clots, and she had severe pain and abnormal production of several hormones that causes her health to further deteriorate. What is the name of the phenomenon that causes all these problems?
