with many cancers...
Is breast cancer a local disease that spreads predictably over time to develop distant metastases? Is it a systemic disease from the outset, with distant metastases present well before diagnosis? 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?
What does with many cancers mean?
I guess there're two possibilities:
1) just like many other cancers; just like cancers other than the breast cancer
2) It should be read as a coherence: with many breast cancers being localized at diagosis and...
Which one do you think is correct?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Mr MH!
So it by no way means just like many other types of cancers; it still talks about the breast cancer. I agree with you. The doubt arose at my reading of the translations of my classmates.
Your confirmation is very helpful to me.
Thank you again![C]

Hi Maple
I think "many cancers" probably refers to breast cancers, but it isn't 100% clear. It could also mean 'types of cancer'. However, if the rest of the context deals exclusively with breast cancer, then I think you can safely assume that (2) is the intended meaning.

Yankee...if the rest of the context deals exclusively with breast cancer, then I think you can safely assume that (2) is the intended meaning.Yes, the total context deals only with the breast cancer. (The title of the essay is Local Therapy and Survival in Breast Cancer)
Thank you, Amy![C]
