Answer to q. 1

E

Answer to q. 2

The lymphatic system filters extracellular fluids. Therefore, if cancerous cells have metastasized
(spread from the initial location), it is likely that some cancerous cells may be located in the lymph
nodes. The examination of numerous lymph nodes surrounding the primary site of the cancer may
enable the physician to determine if localized treatment will be effective or if a broader spectrum
approach is necessary.
