Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm: lymph nodes of multiple regions - what does this mean

Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of lymph nodes of multiple regions is a type of cancer that has spread from its original site of origin to multiple lymph nodes in different parts of the body. this type of cancer is usually caused by the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor site to the lymph nodes. the cancer cells can then spread further to other parts of the body.

What happens during the disease - secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm: lymph nodes of multiple regions

Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of the lymph nodes of multiple regions is caused by the spread of cancerous cells from a primary tumor elsewhere in the body. the cancerous cells travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to the lymph nodes, where they can rapidly multiply and form a secondary tumor. if the primary tumor is not detected and treated early, the cancer can spread to other areas of the body, leading to the development of multiple secondary tumors in the lymph nodes.
