Malignant, cancerous. Malignant cells can invade and destroy nearby tissue and spread 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- Seemingly, roger Neilson, coach of the NHL`s Philadelphia Flyers, has the same cancer, a malignant disease of the bone marrowthat attacks plasma, the fluid portion of the blood, and causes a breakdown of the immune system. Neilson, who worked most of the season despite his treatment, had a stem cell transplant last month. Plasma is the clear, yellowish, fluid part of the blood that carries the blood cells. The proteins that form blood clots are in plasma. Stem cell is a cell from which other types of cells develop. For example, blood cells develop from blood-forming stem cells. Fluid is a substance that flows smoothly and takes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are fluids. Immune system is the complex group of organs and cells that defends the body against infections and other diseases. Stem cell transplant is a method of replacing immature blood-forming cells in the bone marrow that have been destroyed by drugs, radiation, or disease. Stem cells are injected into the patient and make healthy blood cells. A stem cell transplant may be autologous (using a patient`s own stem cells that were saved before treatment), allogeneic (using stem cells donated by someone who is not an identical twin), or syngeneic (using stem cells donated by an identical twin). NHL, any of a large group of cancers of lymphocytes (white blood cells). NHLs can occur at any age and are often marked by lymph nodes that are larger than normal, fever, and weight loss. There are many different types of NHL. These types can be divided into aggressive (fast-growing) and indolent (slow-growing) types, and they can be formed from either B-cells or T-cells. B-cell NHLs include Burkitt lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. T-cell NHLs include mycosis fungoides, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphomas that occur after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are usually B-cell NHLs. Prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and type of disease. Also called non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Cell is the individual unit that makes up the tissues of the body. All living things are made up of one or more cells. Blood is a tissue with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma. Blood takes oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and carries away wastes.
- Finally, it would appear that, weve evaluated M2. PK in the sera of gastrointestinal patients (pts) affected by malignant and non malignant disease. Gastrointestinal, refers to the stomach and intestines. Also called GI.
