Metastastatic ways of the tumor cells From: Stevens A. J Lowe J. Pathology. Mosby

Metastastatic ways of the tumor cells From: Stevens A. J Lowe J. Pathology. Mosby 1995 1. Local spread 2. Lymphatic dissemination 3. Vascular dissemination 4. Transcelomic dissemination Fig. 9. 20.

Fig. 9. 21. Grading is based on the degree of differentiation and the rate of growth (number of mitosis) of tumour. Histological spectrum of cancer: Well differentiated --> Poor differentiated-->Undifferentiated Staging depends on: 1. the size of the primary tumour; 2. the extent of local spread; 3. the extent of distant spread
