Although distant metastases are the most dreaded situation in the
evolution of cancer of every organ, the medical literature has
surprisingly given little attention to the anatomical relationship
between the primary tumor and metastasic sites. Only risk factors,
treatment possibilities, and survival results are extensively
examined.
Stimulated by the occurrence in his practice of some puzzling and
unexpected metastases, the author reviewed more than 12,000
references. He looked for anatomical relationships highlighting the
relation between the location of the primary tumors and the
particular patterns of metastasis observed. It would seem that the
pathways and flows' are apparently a more decisive factor in the
implantation of the metastases than the seed and soil' properties
of the cancer cells and the metastatic site.
Aided by his colleague Dr. T. Geukens, M.D., the author includes
original anatomical drawings, illustrating the sometimes unexpected
pathways the cancer cells follow in order to reach the organs where
they will become lodged and give rise to metastatic tumors. The
subject has apparently not been exhausted in the literature and
several ideas are given for further research.
