Explanation :
The anatomical site where a malignant neoplasm has traveled to is known as the secondary site. The primary site refers to the initial location where the cancer began. "Ca in situ" refers to cancer that is present only in its original place and has not spread. "Generalized" is not a term typically used to describe the location of a specific cancer.
