Preview- It looks that, although incidence and mortality (i.e., death rate) rates for most cancers have dropped, rates of malignant melanoma (i.e., melanoma) (i.e., malignant melanoma) (now one of the most common cancers in young adults), non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma, esophageal cancer, liver (i.e., hepar) cancer, and kidney (i.e., ren, or nephros) and renal (i.e., nephric) pelvis (i.e., pelvis renalis, or ureteric pelvis) cancers have risen. Kidney, one of a pair of organs in the abdomen (i.e., venter). The kidneys remove waste and extra water (i.e., aromatic water) from the blood (i.e., haema) (as urine) and help keep chemicals (such as sodium, potassium, and calcium) balanced in the body. The kidneys also make hormones that help control blood pressure and stimulate bone (i.e., os) marrow (i.e., medulla ossium) to make red blood cells. Mortality is the state of being mortal (destined to die). Mortality also refers to the death (i.e., mors) rate (i.e., crude death rate, or lethality rate), or the number of deaths in a certain group of people in a certain period of time. Mortality may be reported for people who have a certain disease (i.e., illness, or morbus), live in one area of the country, or who are of a certain gender, age, or ethnic group. Malignant, cancerous. Malignant cells can invade and destroy nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Melanoma is a form of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells that make the pigment melanin (i.e., melanotic pigment)). It may begin in a mole (i.e., nevus, or nevus pigmentosus) (skin (i.e., cutis) melanoma), but can also begin in other pigmented tissues, such as in the eye (i.e., oculus) or in the intestines. Renal pelvis is the area at the center of the kidney. Urine collects here and is funneled into the ureter, the tube (i.e., tuba) that connects the kidney to the bladder. Incidence is the number of new cases of a disease diagnosed each year. Liver cancer, primary liver cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the liver. Secondary liver cancer is cancer that spreads to the liver from another part of the body. Lymphoma, cancer that begins in cells of the immune system. There are two basic categories of lymphomas. One kind is Hodgkin lymphoma (i.e., hodgkin disease), which is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell (i.e., reed cell, or sternberg cell) (i.e., reed-sternberg cell). The other category is non-Hodgkin lymphomas, which includes a large, diverse group of cancers of immune system cells. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can be further divided into cancers that have an indolent (slow-growing) course and those that have an aggressive (fast-growing) course. These subtypes behave and respond to treatment differently. Both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur in children and adults, and prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and the type of cancer. 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). Esophageal, having to do with the esophagus, the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat (i.e., gullet) to the stomach (i.e., gaster, or ventriculus). Pelvis is the lower (i.e., inferior, or lower tubercle) part of the abdomen, located between the hip (i.e., hip bone, or hip joint) bones. Esophageal cancer, cancer that forms in tissues lining the esophagus (the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach). Two types of esophageal cancer are squamous (i.e., scaly) cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in flat cells lining the esophagus) and adenocarcinoma (i.e., glandular (i.e., glandulous) cancer, or glandular carcinoma) (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Carcinoma, cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal (i.e., internus) organs. Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells.
- For instance, the NCI Cervical (i.e., cervicalis) Cancer Screening and Triage Study is a clinical trial designed to determine the optimal management of minor and low-grade cervical cytological abnormalities, taking into account recent knowledge of the role of HPV (Infection Human Papillomavirus (i.e., papilloma virus) Infection (HPV)) in cervical malignant neoplastic disease. Cervical, relating to the neck (i.e., cervix (i.e., neck, or cervix of uterus), or collum), or to the neck of any organ or structure. Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck. Cervical cancer refers to cancer of the uterine cervix, which is the lower, narrow end (the neck ) of the uterus (i.e., metra, or womb). Screening, checking for disease when there are no symptoms. Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast (i.e., mamma, or teat)), colonoscopy (i.e., coloscopy) (colon), and the Pap test (i.e., papanicolaou smear test) and HPV test (cervix). Screening can also include checking for a person`s risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test. HPV is a type of virus that can cause abnormal tissue growth (for example, warts) and other changes to cells. Infection for a long time with certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer. HPV may also play a role in some other types of cancer, such as anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile (i.e., penial), oropharyngeal, and squamous cell skin cancers. Also called human papillomavirus. Clinical, having to do with the examination and treatment of patients. Clinical trial is a type of research study that tests how well new medical approaches work in people. These studies test new methods of screening, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. Also called clinical study. Cervical cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Cervical cancer is almost always caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
- For example, tILs have been identified that can recognize unique cancer antigens on murine and human cancers, including melanoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma. Colon cancer, cancer that forms in the tissues of the colon (the longest part of the large intestine (i.e., intestinum crassum)). Most colon cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Colon is the longest part of the large intestine, which is a tube-like organ connected to the small intestine (i.e., intestinum tenue) at one end and the anus (i.e., anal orifice) at the other. The colon removes water and some nutrients and electrolytes from partially digested food. The remaining material, solid waste called stool, moves through the colon to the rectum and leaves the body through the anus. 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. Breast, glandular organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat (i.e., adipose tissue), and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland).
