Hematogenous spread of disease is relatively unusual and most frequently involves the lungs, bones, intraabdominal viscera, or distant lymphatics.25 One study indicated that patients with hematogenous metastasis had a 5.3-fold higher risk of death compared to those with lymphatic metastasis.26 Variant cell types, such as neuroendocrine or glassy cell carcinoma, may be associated with distant disease in the absence of local spread. Current therapy for these variants typically involves multimodality strategies designed to address the tumor’s potential for local and distant metastasis.27,28
