Preview- It really is clear that, all kinds of cancer, including childhood cancer, have a common disease process (i.e., processus) cells grow out of control, develop abnormal sizes and shapes, ignore their typical boundaries inside the body, destroy their neighbor cells, and ultimately can spread (or metastasize) to other. ALL is an aggressive (fast-growing) type of leukemia (blood cancer) in which too many lymphoblasts (immature white (i.e., albicans) blood cells) are found in the blood and bone marrow. Also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia (i.e., lymphatic leukemia, or lymphoid leukemia). Metastasize, to spread from one part of the body to another. When cancer cells metastasize and form secondary tumors, the cells in the metastatic tumor are like those in the original (primary) tumor. Abnormal, not normal. Describes a state, condition, or behavior that is unusual or different from what is considered normal. An abnormal lesion or growth in or on the body may be benign (not cancer), precancerous (i.e., premalignant) or premalignant (i.e., precancerous) (likely to become cancer), or malignant (cancer). Childhood cancer is a term used to describe cancers that occur between birth and 15 years of age. Childhood cancers are very rare and may differ from adult cancers in the way they grow and spread, how they are treated, and how they respond to treatment. Common types of childhood cancer include leukemia (begins in blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow), lymphoma (begins in the cells of the immune system), neuroblastoma (begins in certain nerve (i.e., nervus) cells), retinoblastoma (begins in the tissues of the retina (i.e., optomeninx)), Wilms tumor (i.e., nephroblastoma) (a type of kidney (i.e., ren, or nephros) cancer), and cancers of the brain, bone, and soft tissue. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm (i.e., new growth, or tumor).
- It really is clear that, kids with cancer can be given the chemotherapy medications intravenously (through a vein (i.e., vena)) or orally (by mouth (i.e., oral cavity, or ostium). Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. Vein is a blood vessel that carries blood to the heart (i.e., cor, or coeur) from tissues and organs in the body.
- For instance, cancers are often referred to by terms that contain a prefix related to the cell type in which the cancer originated and a suffix such as -sarcoma, -carcinoma, or just -oma. Cell type, describes the kinds of cells found in normal or cancer tissue. The cell type is usually identified by looking under a microscope. Some examples of cell types are lymphocytes, melanocytes, and squamous (i.e., scaly) cells. In cancer, it is important to know the cell type in order to diagnose the cancer, plan treatment, and determine prognosis. Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
