Vic - This is the reply that I received from my radiologist, Dr. Henning Willers:
"STAS is just tumor cells that can take off from the primary tumor and then spread through the adjacent lung. Plenty of oxygen and nutrients there. Blood vessels will be needed if those cells want to take root somewhere."

Does this help regarding your question of how the cancer would survive.

Thanks, Merry. Very concise explanation.
I recently read it has been found in 15% to 50%. Now for the research on how best to treat it. Will it be taking out the lobe, drug therapy or close observation. It seems to me a real wildcard with multifocal which already generates primary cancerous nodules.
