Preview- It appears that, uterine cancer metastasis is a common disease to women who are under forty years old and above. Uterine cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the uterus (i.e., metra, or womb) (the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman`s pelvis in which a fetus develops). Two types of uterine cancer are endometrial cancer (cancer that begins in cells lining the uterus) and uterine sarcoma (a rare cancer that begins in muscle or other tissues in the uterus).
- It really is obvious that, nEW YORK (Reuters Health) The median (i.e., medianus) survival of patients with peritoneal breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer metastasis is surprisingly poor. Median survival is the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that half of the patients in a group of patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive. In a clinical trial, measuring the median survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Also called median overall survival. Peritoneal, having to do with the parietal (i.e., somatic, or somatic) peritoneum (i.e., membrana abdominis) (the tissue that lines the abdominal wall (i.e., paries) and pelvic cavity (i.e., cavitas, or cavernous space) (i.e., cavitas pelvis, or cavitas pelvina)) and visceral (i.e., splanchnic) peritoneum (the tissue that covers most of the organs in the abdomen (i.e., venter), including the intestines). Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Median is a statistics term. The middle (i.e., medius) value in a set of measurements. Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland).
- It`s obvious that, the most common sites of cancer metastasis are the lungs, bones, and liver (i.e., hepar). Liver is a large organ located in the upper abdomen. The liver cleanses the blood and aids (i.e., acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) in digestion by secreting bile (i.e., gall).
