Diagnostic suffixes are word parts that are added to the end of a medical term to modify its meaning and provide information related to diagnosis or medical conditions.

Some common diagnostic suffixes include "-itis" (indicating inflammation), "-oma" (indicating a tumor), and "-osis" (indicating a condition or state).
