About tumors. Talk with your vet. I was told by my vet that once you open up a tumor and/or aspirate it to check for cancer cells or to remove it it then spreads like wildfire.
I was curious and searched with google scholar using the terms: fine needle aspirate cancer seeding
As I expected, this technique was correlated to spreading cancer like a wildfire after a Nor'easter; can happen but very rare (the correlation has not been proven to be causation) and localized to the needle tract in the rare cases when it occurred.
Don't take my word or Rock's look up the scientific literature yourself.
