you need to ask more questions:
Is this "angiolymphatic invasion" caused from the original tumor and did this change the staging?
How did they "see" this?
Is this a separate cancer, metastesis (regional) or poor margins from the original tumor site (local)?
Ask them about the status of "differentiation" (moderate, well, poor)?
