Cancers: Some cancers are more serious than others. It is not only where they occur but the specific type of cancer. All cancers have the potential to spreading both locally and systemically. Early detection and proper treatment is key!

No difference: In late stages oral cancer for example may spread to a cancer in the lungs or the brain, which was not the location of the original, primary neoplasm.
