A hepatic flexure tumor with duodenal invasion refers to a malignant growth located at the hepatic flexure of the colon, which is the bend between the ascending and transverse colon, and extends into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This type of tumor can complicate surgical management due to its location and the involvement of adjacent organs. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, and potential obstruction. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and biopsy, and treatment often requires surgical intervention alongside possible chemotherapy.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the tumor capable of invasion and spread?
Carcinoma
What is enlarginging heterogeneuos hypodense mass in right hepatic lobe?
An enlarging heterogeneous hypodense mass in the right hepatic lobe may indicate a liver tumor. Further imaging studies and possibly a biopsy would be needed to determine the nature of this mass. Treatment options would depend on the type of tumor and the extent of its spread.
What does it mean to have a Well-differentiated hepatocellular liver tumor?
It means that the hepatic tumor cells closely resemble the real and "healthy" hepatic cells. When talking of tumors, the term "well-differentiated" is a "good" indicator. Cells "differentiate" one from the others in order to accomplish their function... for example, pneumonic cells are way different from hepatic cells. They don't have the same function, so they need to undergoing a process "to differentiate" themselves, according to their function. "Poorly differentiated", on the other hand, means that tumor cells do no resemble the tissue where they arose from, and that is, of course, not good at all. One last thing. When talking of hepatocellular tumor, you don't need to say "liver", because the prefix hepato means "liver".
What is hypovascular thyroid?
Containing an excessive number of blood vessels. Usually referring to a tumor or the liver where there are hepatic abnormalities. See Link for Wilson's disease & hypervascular.
What is the medical term meaning ct scan of the liver?
Just that, a CT liver. Technically you could make it hepatic CT imaging.
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 is parametrial invasion?
Parametrial invasion refers to the spread of cancerous cells into the parametrium, which is the connective tissue surrounding the uterus. This type of invasion often occurs in gynecological cancers, particularly cervical and endometrial cancers, indicating a more advanced stage of the disease. The presence of parametrial invasion can impact treatment decisions and prognosis, as it may suggest a greater extent of cancer spread beyond the primary tumor site.
What is the difference from a hard tumor or a soft tumor?
A hard tumor is not a tumor
What does extensive lymphovascular invasion?
Extensive lymphovascular invasion refers to the presence of cancer cells in the lymphatic and blood vessels surrounding a tumor. This indicates an increased risk of cancer spreading to other parts of the body through these vessels. It is an important factor in determining the stage and prognosis of cancer.
For what spinal cord disorders is laminectomy prescribed?
Laminectomy is used for metastatic tumor invasion of the spinal cord (which causes compression), and for narrowing of the spinal cord (a condition called spinal stenosis.)
How does the presence of lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment contribute to the progression and development of cancer?
The presence of lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment can contribute to the progression and development of cancer by promoting tumor growth, invasion, and resistance to treatment. Lactic acid can create an acidic environment that helps cancer cells survive and thrive, as well as promote the formation of new blood vessels to supply nutrients to the tumor. Additionally, lactic acid can suppress the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells, making it harder for the body to fight off the disease.
Is Wilms' tumor malignant?
Wilms' tumor is a type of malignant tumor
