Additional comments
Some "metastatic malignant neoplasms" are defined as "secondary neoplasms", "metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes" is defined as "neoplasm". Cancers currently only include "neoplasms", but not "secondary neoplasms" which means that some "metastatic malignant neoplasms" are not cancers, while "metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes" is. The textual definitions for some cancers also explicitly mention metastases.
