What is the correct metastatic carcinoma ranking from most to least common?

Lung > Breast > Prostate > Colon > Kidney
Breast > Lung > Kidney > Colon > Prostate
Colon > Kidney > Prostate > Lung > Breast
Prostate > Colon > Kidney > Breast > Lung

The correct answer is: Breast > Lung > Kidney > Colon > Prostate

Metastatic carcinoma refers to cancer that has spread from the primary site to other parts of the body. In this question, the correct ranking from most to least common metastatic carcinoma is Breast > Lung > Kidney > Colon > Prostate. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and has a relatively high propensity for metastasis, making it the most common in the list. Lung cancer follows as the second most common, as it frequently metastasizes to other organs. Kidney cancer comes next in the ranking, as renal cell carcinoma is known for its potential to spread to various sites. Colon cancer is less common in terms of metastatic spread compared to the previous mentioned cancers. Prostate cancer is the least common in this list for metastatic carcinoma, hence ranking last. Therefore, option B is correct because it provides the accurate ranking of metastatic carcinoma from most to least common based on the prevalence and metastatic patterns of these cancer types.
