“…Batı toplumlarında servikse en sık metastaz yapan tümör meme kanseri iken, Japonya'da en sık mide kanseridir [24]. Genital dışı malignitelerin servikse direkt yayılımı sık olmakla birlikte hematojen ve lenfatik yayılım nadirdir (Tablo 1) [21]. Metastazın primer tümörünün ayırıcı tanısında immünohistokimyasal boyama yöntemleri yardımcıdır.…”
