Systemic Cancer Definition

Systemic Cancer: This is cancer of any type that has spread to and/or affects the entire body.

In other cases, a cancer is called systemic if it has metastasized to distant locations from the primary tumor or if it has invaded the surrounding tissues via local invasion.
