Your cancer your life – patterns of secondary growth (part 1)

YOUR CANCER YOUR LIFE – PATTERNS OF SECONDARY GROWTH (PART 1)
Your practitioner will know where your particular type of cancer usually spreads. This is very important in working out what tests are needed and what types of treatment are likely to be best. With many types of cancer, the first secondary growths to develop tend to be located in the lymph nodes closest to the primary cancer. Examples include cancer of the breast, colon and tongue. Sometimes enlargement of these nodes is noticed by the patient before there is any sign of the primary cancer.
Other types of cancers tend to release cells into the bloodstream right from the start. These include some types of lung cancer and bone cancer. For each type of cancer there is a typical pattern for locations of secondary growths. Cancers spreading through the lymph system often form secondary growths in the nodes closest to the primary. Cancers spreading through the blood often form secondary growths in the lungs, liver and bones. Although, of course, the blood goes to every part of your body, for some reason the cancer cells are much more likely to lodge and form secondary growths in some organs than in others. Thus, for example, the lungs, liver and bones are common sites while the muscles, heart and intestines are not usually affected by secondary growths.
