A member asked:

Does mets to lymphnode next to hepatic artery mean the cancer has spread via blood? is mets to perilymphonodal adipose tissue = mets to peritoneum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well...: Metastasis through blood stream usually denotes distant organs.. Lymph node involvement is spread through lymphatics... Often both go together. Perilymphnodal adipose tissue has nothing to do with perineum. Peilymphnodal means "around the lymph node" Keep the faith. lots of cancers are curable these days...
