No spread by spill: Tumor cells spread when the lesion has the potential to spread and not via spill. When lesions of uterus curetted and are found circulating , these cells don't take. If lesion in hip bone, this tumor has spread from primary site and more likely has also spread to other sites prior to surgery. Food drugs available to control metastasis.

Often life limiting.: For kidney cancer that has spread (stage IV), median overall survival is ~ 1 year. In other words, 1/2 of people live longer than 1 year, and 1/2 people live shorter than 1 year. With treatment, median overall survival is now ~ 3 years. In other words, 1/2 of people live longer than 3 years, and 1/2 of people liver shorter than 3 years.
