Adenocarcinoma

Adenocarcinoma (plural adenocarcinomas or adenocarcinomata; AC) is a type of cancerous tumor that can occur in several parts of the body.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Adenocarcinoma

Artificial urinary bladder

The two main methods for replacing bladder function involve either redirecting urine flow or replacing the bladder in situ.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Artificial urinary bladder

Asymptomatic

Asymptomatic (or clinically silent) is an adjective categorising the medical conditions (i.e., injuries or diseases) that patients carry but without experiencing their symptoms, despite an explicit diagnosis (e.g., a positive medical test).

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Asymptomatic

Back pain

Back pain (Latin: dorsalgia) is pain felt in the back.

Bladder

The bladder is a hollow organ in humans and other vertebrates that stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Bladder

Carcinoma

Carcinoma is a malignancy that develops from epithelial cells.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Carcinoma

Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix or in the any layer of the wall of the cervix.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Cervical cancer

Cervix

The cervix (cervices) or cervix uteri is a dynamic fibromuscular organ of the female reproductive system that connects the vagina with the uterine cavity.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Cervix

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Chemotherapy

Chronic cough

In clinical guidelines chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting more than 8 weeks in adults and more than 4 weeks in children (some studies suggest that a chronic cough must persist upwards of three months).

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Chronic cough

Death

Death is the end of life; the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Death

Diagnosis

Diagnosis (diagnoses) is the identification of the nature and cause of a certain phenomenon.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Diagnosis

Edema

Edema (AmE), also spelled oedema (BrE), and also known as fluid retention, dropsy, hydropsy and swelling, is the build-up of fluid in the body's tissue.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Edema

Endocrine gland

Endocrine glands are ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Endocrine gland

External beam radiotherapy

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a form of radiotherapy that utilizes a high-energy collimated beam of ionizing radiation, from a source outside the body, to target and kill cancer cells.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and External beam radiotherapy

Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and cervix.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Hysterectomy

Liver

The liver is a major metabolic organ exclusively found in vertebrate animals, which performs many essential biological functions such as detoxification of the organism, and the synthesis of proteins and various other biochemicals necessary for digestion and growth.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Liver

Lung

The lungs are the central organs of the respiratory system in humans and some other animals, including tetrapods, some snails and a small number of fish.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Lung

Lymph node

A lymph node, or lymph gland, is a kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic system and the adaptive immune system.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Lymph node

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Magnetic resonance imaging

Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; the term is typically used when referring to metastasis by a cancerous tumor.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Metastasis

Mucous membrane

A mucous membrane or mucosa is a membrane that lines various cavities in the body of an organism and covers the surface of internal organs.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Mucous membrane

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Neoplasm

Neuroendocrinology

Neuroendocrinology is the branch of biology (specifically of physiology) which studies the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system; i.e. how the brain regulates the hormonal activity in the body.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Neuroendocrinology

Pap test

The Papanicolaou test (abbreviated as Pap test, also known as Pap smear (AE), cervical smear (BE), cervical screening (BE), or smear test (BE)) is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix (opening of the uterus or womb) or, more rarely, anus (in both men and women). Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Pap test are cervical cancer.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Pap test

Pelvic pain

Pelvic pain is pain in the area of the pelvis.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Pelvic pain

Pelvis

The pelvis (pelves or pelvises) is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region), together with its embedded skeleton (sometimes also called bony pelvis or pelvic skeleton).

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Pelvis

Radiation

In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Radiation

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy (RT, RTx, or XRT) is a treatment using ionizing radiation, generally provided as part of cancer therapy to either kill or control the growth of malignant cells.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Radiation therapy

Rectum

The rectum (rectums or recta) is the final straight portion of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals, and the gut in others.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Rectum

Sex

Sex is the biological trait that determines whether a sexually reproducing organism produces male or female gametes.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Sex

Signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms are the observed or detectable signs, and experienced symptoms of an illness, injury, or condition.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Signs and symptoms

Squamous-cell carcinoma

The term squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as epidermoid carcinoma, comprises a number of different types of cancer that begin in squamous cells.

Survival rate

Survival rate is a part of survival analysis.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Survival rate

Systemic disease

A systemic disease is one that affects a number of organs and tissues, or affects the body as a whole.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Systemic disease

Therapy

A therapy or medical treatment is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a medical diagnosis.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Therapy

Urination

Urination is the release of urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Urination

Uterus

The uterus (from Latin uterus,: uteri) or womb is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more embryos until birth.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Uterus

Vagina

In mammals and other animals, the vagina (vaginas or vaginae) is the elastic, muscular reproductive organ of the female genital tract.

See Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and Vagina

Vaginal bleeding

Vaginal bleeding is any expulsion of blood from the vagina.

Weight loss

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue), or lean mass (namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue).
