This is from the NCI cancer terms dictionary. I hope it help you understand the report a little better.
metastatic cancer: Cancer that has spread from the place in which it started to other parts of the body.
I was not able to find "Cytokeratin".
More terms:
sarcoma: A cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
carcinoma (KAR-si-NO-ma) Cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
