| Dukes' c. |
a three-class staging system that classifies colorectal carcinoma from A to C based on the extent of the tumor: A, penetration into but not through the bowel wall; B, penetration through the bowel wall; C, lymph node involvement regardless of extent of bowel wall penetration. Many modifications of this classification exist.

| Dukes' d. |
a mild febrile disease of childhood characterized by a bright rosy red, generalized exanthematous eruption, probably a viral exanthem of the Coxsackie-ECHO group; it was given the ordinal designation fourth d. to differentiate it from other exanthems (see exanthem, def. 2). Called also Filatov-Dukes d. and scarlatinella.
