Occurrence of cancer at multiple sites: towards distinguishing multigenesis from metastasis.

Biology direct - 11 Apr 2008

Zhang Wei-Kang, Zhang Chun, Zhang Jing J, Liu Shi V

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Occurrence of tumors at multiple sites is a hallmark of malignant cancers and contributes to the high mortality of cancers. The formation of multi-site cancers (MSCs) has conventionally been regarded as a result of hematogenous metastasis. However, some MSCs may appear as unusual in t...
