More About Cancer(s)

From Cancer.Suite101

"These abnormal populations exhibiting excessive growth often occur due to mutations that block apoptosis or enhance cell proliferation. In addition, these populations of cells are prone to further mutations, which make them increasingly abnormal and unstable. For example, further mutations may confer additional loss of growth control or an enhanced ability to invade local tissues or to metastasize to distant sites.

It should be remembered that not all tumours are cancerous. Benign tumours lack the ability to spread by invasion into local areas or by metastasizing to distant parts of the body. As a result they are often not life threatening. In contrast, a malignant tumour can spread by both invasion and metastasis. It is these latter tumors that are correctly called cancer. Their ability to spread often poses significant health consequences as they disrupt not only local structures but also distant tissues and organs, often leading to impaired function."

And soft tissue sarcomas first spread by invasion then by metastasis when they become more invasive. My doctor warned me about further mutations that may make the tumor more aggressive (apparently, a lot of sarcomas later develop an overgrowth which then multiplies the speed at which they spread...So I think that the trachelectomy is a safe choice...And wait as long as I possibly can before the hysterectomy.
