Search Results
- stage iv cancer
IV, into or within a vein. IV usually refers to a way of giving a drug or other substance through a needle or tube inserted into a vein. Also called intravenous. Stage is the extent of a cancer in the body. Staging is usually based on the size of the tumor, whether lymph nodes contain cancer, and whether the cancer has spread from the original site to other parts of the body. 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- It could seem to be apparant that, the elephant in the room that I haven`t seen anyone address is how exactly is it that a sixty year old with a six figure income living in America is diagnosed with stage IV cancer as an initial diagnosis. As another poster pointed out stage IV cancer is very advanced disease. Diagnosis is the process of identifying a disease, such as cancer, from its signs and symptoms.
- It appears to be, it takes years to develop and there are good screening tests available. My point is I have never seen anyone who is consistently following the recommended screening regimen present with stage IV cancer as an initial diagnosis. Regimen is a treatment plan that specifies the dosage, the schedule, and the duration of treatment. 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.
- It appears to be, of stages 0 to IV for uterine cancer, in what stage is individual`s cancer classified (according to whether cancer cells are localized or have spread beyond the uterus)? Localized, restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread. Uterus is the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman`s pelvis. This is the organ in which a fetus develops. Also called womb. Uterine cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the uterus (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).

Uterus is the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman`s pelvis. This is the organ in which a fetus develops. Also called womb.
Preview- One can determine, studies have found the following risk factors for uterine cancer Abnormal overgrowth of the endometrium (endometrial ) An abnormal increase in the number of cells in the lining of the uterus is a risk factor for uterine cancer. Endometrial, having to do with the endometrium (the layer of tissue that lines the uterus). Endometrium is the layer of tissue that lines the uterus. 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 or premalignant (likely to become cancer), or malignant (cancer). Uterine cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the uterus (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).
- Finally, one can presume that, of stages 0 to IV for uterine cancer, in what stage is individual`s cancer classified (according to whether cancer cells are localized or have spread beyond the uterus)? IV, into or within a vein. IV usually refers to a way of giving a drug or other substance through a needle or tube inserted into a vein. Also called intravenous. Localized, restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread.
