I can't decide between answer choice A and B. I went with direct seeding but now I'm thinking it may be bloodborne metastases.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dissemination of cancers may occur through one of three pathways: (1) direct seeding of body cavities or surfaces, (2) lymphatic spread, and (3) hematogenous spread. Although direct transplantation of tumor cells, as for example on surgical instruments, may theoretically occur, it is rare and, in any event, an artificial mode of dissemination that is not discussed further. Each of the three major pathways is described separately.

The primary origen.... ( gastro intestinal, most commont cause of bleding must be gastric) adenocarcinoma gastric. -Carcinoid syndrome- more over. cancers of the gastrointestinal tract often spread to the liver because blood flows "directly" from these organs to the liver.
