locally
See suggestion below (which assumes that the first word should read "entonces")
I suspect, given that chemotherapy is being discussed, that the writer may be referring to malignant disease rather than to infection on this occasion.

Example sentence:
"The next step is to establish whether or not it (the tumour?) is metastatic and(/or) if it has spread locally, is it not?"

the primary or local tumor
I am very familiar with these terms because I suffered of a similar condition. Happy 2009!

: I understand what you're saying, but the question is about how to interpret the phrase "por el local," which doesn't mean "local tumor," but rather is referring to the nature of the site.

[advanced for] the site
The text is asking whether the metastases are considered to be advanced for the particular site in question. "Site" is the only acceptable word in this context.

The text is ambiguous. The phrase could refer to metastases or be a new question. Either way, the translation doesn't change. Here is the other interpretation:
"Are there metastases? Is the disease considered advanced for the site"?
In other words, a malignancy could be relatively small, but for the particular site in question, its characteristics would be meant that it is advanced
