The term is commonly used in oncology to describe metastasis, meaning \u201cspread\u201d to another organ or tissue. Sometimes people also use \u201csecondary\u201d to describe a new, separate cancer that develops later (a second primary cancer). Because the wording can be confusing, clinicians often clarify what \u201csecondary\u201d means in each case."}
