somewhere in between

Question

Is it a systemic disease from the outset, with distant metastases present well before diagnosis? Is breast cancer a local disease that spreads predictably over time to develop distant metastases? Or is the truth somewhere in between, with many cancers being localized at diagnosis and, if untreated or recurrent, acquiring the ability to metastasize and kill?

I can't read the red part. Could you please tell me the stem structure of it? And paraphrase would be even more appreciated.

Any suggestion would be very welcome!

Thank you!

Hi Maple

I hope you'll keep your syringes far away from me this time!

"Is the truth between these two extremes/points/possibilities: are many types of cancer localized/discovered in various places when the diagnosis is performed, and if they are not treated or if they occur again several times, do they become able to send cancerous cells to other parts of the body and kill?"

Cheers
CB

Apparently you guys can both understand the red sentense. How I still envy you!

CB, Don't be frightened. Please feel free to make comments on my threads. I kinda have lost my interest in syringes or stethoscopes; Now, What I like is cooking!

------Added:Finally, I think I kinda get it now with your explanations. Thanks again!
