unmetastasized
Stayed in place
Unmetastasized describes a cancer that has not spread from its original site to other parts of the body.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts: The tumor was unmetastasized and surgically removed.
An unmetastasized cancer generally offers a more favorable prognosis than one that has spread.
