Define carcinoma
malignant tumor of epithelial tissue
- 80-90% of cancers
- affects skin, large intestine, stomach, breast, and lungs

- tissues affects are muscle, connective, fibrous tissue, fat, and synovium
- sarcoma is name due to tissue affected
- fibrosarcoma = tumor of fibrous tissue
- osteosarcoma = tumor of bone

non-continuous/ distant nodal metastasis
What determines the pattern of metastasis
blood flow, venous drainage, and lymphatic channels
What is benign mechanical transport?
(BMT) is NOT metastasis, it is another mechanism of spread by either (1) lymphatic transport of
epithelial cells displaced by biopsy of primary tumor or (2) breast massage assisted transport
What is considered a recent biopsy? (how many months)
6 months
