What is the medical term meaning a tumor reappears in a distant site from the primary tumor?
Such a tumour is called a secondary or a metastasis.
What is the medical term meaning process of classifying a tumor based on its size and extent of invasion?
Morphology (tissue type) and topography (anatomical site).
What can you use to lower your tumor markers?
Please ask your doctor or oncologist. This not a site for medical advice.
What is the medical term meaning at the site?
"In situ" means at the site.
When a tumor is described as benign what does that mean?
A benign tumor is one that remains confined to its original site; it does not metastasize, or spread. Another word for a benign tumour is onenon-cancerous.
What does benign mean in medical terms?
A benign tumor is one that remains confined to its original site; it does not metastasize, or spread.Another word for a benign tumour is onenon-cancerous. So its good news to hear that a tumour is benign.The literal meaning of the word is 'kind'.
What is the medical term meaning Site of origin?
In Situ
Which kind of tumor grows slowly and is surrounded by membranes that prevent it from spreading from the original site?
The answer is Benign, I just took the test! :)
How can a radioactive isotopes may be used to treat a medical problem?
Radioactive isotopes can be used in radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells. The isotopes are directed at the tumor site, where their radiation damages the cancer cells and inhibits their growth. This helps to shrink or eliminate the tumor and treat the medical problem.
What is the symptoms of a malignant tumor?
Malignant, or cancerous, tumors exhibit symptoms based on the TNM system: Stage 0 cancer indicates the cancer has not moved ore spread. Stages I, II, and III indicate either enlargement of the tumor or spread of the cancer cells from the tumor to other areas. Stage IV tumors indicate the tumor's cancerous cells have invaded tissue and organs far from the original site.
A mass of abnormal cells that remain at the original site?
A mass of abnormal cells that remain at the original site is referred to as a benign tumor. Unlike malignant tumors, benign tumors do not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. They can still cause issues by pressing on nearby structures or organs, but they are generally considered non-cancerous. Treatment may involve monitoring, surgical removal, or other interventions depending on the tumor's size and location.
What kind of tumor grows slowly and is surrounded by membranes that prevent it from spreading the original site?
The type of tumor that grows slowly and is typically surrounded by membranes, preventing it from spreading to surrounding tissues, is called a benign tumor. These tumors are non-cancerous and often encapsulated, which helps to confine their growth. They can usually be removed surgically, and they generally do not recur after removal. Examples include lipomas and fibromas.
