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. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- One can determine, the important conclusion is that patients with a single metastatic tumor of the brain that is surgically accessible can avoid the risks of whole-brain radiation and can be effectively treated with surgery, radiation seeds, and watchful follow-up every three months, Warnick says. Surgery is a procedure to remove or repair a part of the body or to find out whether disease is present. An operation. Follow-up, monitoring a person`s health over time after treatment. This includes keeping track of the health of people who participate in a clinical study or clinical trial for a period of time, both during the study and after the study ends. Radiation, energy released in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, medical x-rays, and energy given off by a radioisotope (unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable). Metastatic, having to do with metastasis, which is the spread of cancer from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body.
- You can determine, mouth predilection sites in sequence as the tongue, upper and lower gums, cheek, palate, upper and lower jaw, floor of the mouth, tongue cancer has leapt to the top. (topical) Pathological types of oral cancer squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the majority, and that the degree of malignancy is relatively large, easy to recurrence and metastasis, especially adenoid cystic carcinoma is highly prone to distant metastasis, but also has neurotropic nature. Therefore, we chose five most representative oral cancer cell lines:the squamous cell carcinoma cell line SAS, Tca8113, Buccl885, and adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line ACCM, ACC-2 for screening. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that usually begins in the salivary glands. Oral cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the oral cavity (the mouth) or the oropharynx (the part of the throat at the back of the mouth). Metastasis is the spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. A tumor formed by cells that have spread is called a metastatic tumor or a metastasis. The metastatic tumor contains cells that are like those in the original (primary) tumor. The plural form of metastasis is metastases (meh-TAS-tuh-SEEZ). Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Squamous cell carcinoma, cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales. Squamous cells are found in the tissue that forms the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts. Also called epidermoid carcinoma. Oral, by or having to do with the mouth. Recurrence, cancer that has recurred (come back), usually after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. The cancer may come back to the same place as the original (primary) tumor or to another place in the body. Also called recurrent cancer. Palate is the roof of the mouth. The front portion is bony (hard palate), and the back portion is muscular (soft palate). Malignancy is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Malignant cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of malignancy. Carcinoma is a malignancy that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a malignancy that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a malignancy that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are malignancies that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are malignancies that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called cancer. Squamous cell, flat cell that looks like a fish scale under a microscope. These cells cover inside and outside surfaces of the body. They are found in the tissues that form the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body (such as the bladder, kidney, and uterus), and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts. 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), colonoscopy (colon), and the Pap 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. Tongue cancer, cancer that begins in the tongue. When the cancer begins in the front two-thirds of the tongue, it is considered to be a type of oral cavity cancer; when the cancer begins in the back third of the tongue, it is considered to be a type of oropharyngeal or throat cancer. Gums is the tissue of the upper and lower jaws that surrounds the base of the teeth. Also called gingiva. Carcinoma, cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
- Seemingly, chemotherapy delivered by an implanted pump. This therapy takes advantage of the liver`s ability to metabolize some drugs, meaning that the tumor may be exposed to high concentrations of chemotherapy while the rest of the body is spared the side effects. Pump is a device that is used to give a controlled amount of a liquid at a specific rate. For example, pumps are used to give drugs (such as chemotherapy or pain medicine) or nutrients. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells.
