A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you you have cancer in ur lungs does it spread faster than any where else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The speed of a cancer's spread is determined by the aggressiveness of the tumor, the health status of the patient, and the tumor-host relationship. I would not say that lung cancer spreads faster than cancer of other origins. Good luck.
