IMPORTANT CANCER TERMS-2-LESSON 128
This lesson is the continuation of the LESSON 127.
15. Electron beams: Low-energy beams of radiation for treatment of skin or surface tumors.
16. Encapsulated: Surrounded by a capsule. Benign tumors are generally encapsulated.
17. Fractionation: Giving radiation in small, repeated doses.
18. Grading of tumors: Evaluating the degree of maturity of tumor cells.
19. Gross description of tumor: Visual appearance of tumors, cystic, fungating, inflammatory, medullary, necrotic, polypoid, ulcerating, and verrucous.
20. Infiltrative: Extending beyond normal tissue boundaries.
21. Invasive: Having the ability to enter and destroy surrounding tissue.
22. Linear accelerator: Device that produces high-energy x-ray beams for treatment of deep-seated tumors.
23. Malignant: Tending to become worse and result in death. Tumors having the characteristics of invasiveness, anaplasia, and metastasis.
24. Metastasis: Spread of a malignant tumor to a secondary site. Literally beyond control (meta means beyond and stasis means control).
25. Microscopic description: The appearance of tumors as seen under the microscope. Those are alveolar, carcinoma in situ, diffuse, dysplastic, epidermoid, follicular, nodular, papillary, pleomorphic, scirrhous, and undifferentiated types of cancer are microscopic.
26. Mitosis: Replication of cells. This is a stage in the cell life cycle involving the production of two identical cells from a parent cell.
27. Mixed-tissue tumors: Tumors composed of different types of tissue such as epithelial as well as connective tissue.
28. Modality: Method of treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
In the next post we will see the continuation of this post. Okay.
