Cancer (oncology)

A calcaneal cyst

The first cyst of the calcaneus was described by the German physician Virchow at the end of the 19th century. Previously, the cyst was defined by multiple concepts - sinus calcaneus, intraosseous lipoma, chondroma, osteodystrophy of the calcaneus.

A bone cyst

A bone cyst is a cavity in the hard form of connective tissue, most often developing in childhood, without obvious clinical signs until a pathological fracture due to the destruction of bone tissue.

Neck cyst

A neck cyst as a type of pathological neoplasm is part of a large group of diseases – cysts of the maxillofacial region (MFR) and neck.

Kidney metastasis

Metastases in the kidneys are less common, mainly in oncological processes that are capable of producing widespread secondary foci.

Brain metastasis

Autopsies of patients who died from lung or breast cancer show that about 30% of patients develop brain metastases.

Metastasis to the prostate

Most often, metastases to the prostate spread to the lymph nodes, adrenal glands, lungs, liver, bone tissue of the pelvis, spine and hips.

Tongue cancer

Tongue cancer is a group of oncological diseases in the oral cavity, most often formed from squamous epithelium cells. According to statistics, tongue cancer accounts for no more than 2% of all oncological diseases, but this pathology is characterized by aggressive development and serious complications due to the anatomical structure and location of the affected organ.

Nasal cyst

A cyst in the nose is explained in medicine as a pathological formation in tissues with a specific wall and content. In life, a cyst in the nose interferes with normal existence. And sometimes a person in such a situation thinks about a possible operation. Is surgical intervention necessary at such a time?

Symptoms of liver cancer

Symptoms of liver cancer vary depending on the severity, and naturally, on the presence of metastases in the liver. So, let's look at the signs of liver cancer more specifically.

Diagnosis of gastric cancer: basic methods

According to the unanimous opinion of doctors, early diagnosis of stomach cancer (adenocarcinoma, saucer cancer, stromal tumors, infiltrative-ulcerative, diffuse cancer) is a complex process, since in most cases this insidious disease does not manifest itself in any way at first: there is no pain or any functional disorders.
