I think it can be both.
"The cancerous growth metastasized" is a verb
"The metastasized growth was troubling" is an adjective.

Both. A matastasized tumor is a tumor that's moved, true, but that's still describing that the tumor has moved.
Adjective version = verb version
Metastasized tumor = a tumor that has mestastasized
Drowned dog = the dog that has drowned

Verb. The adjective, I believe, would be metastatic.

a metastasis is the tumor that has metastasized from somewhere else, or the process of doing so
