| 영문 | bronchogenic carcinoma | 한글 | 기관지원성 암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 폐의 기관지 세포에서 기원하는 종양. 폐암의 종류에서 가장 흔한 형태(90%이상)이다. 현미경적 소견에 따라 샘암종, 큰세포암종, 소세포(작은세포) 암종의 4가지로 나눈다. 이중에서 편평세포암종이 가장 흔한 형태이다. 임상적으로는 비소세포폐암(non-small cell lung cancer)와 소세포폐암(small cell lung cancer)로 구분을 하는데, 비소세포폐암의 경우 종양세포의 성장이 느리고 수술적 제거가 치료의 기본이 되고 예후도 좋은 반면, 소세포폐암의 경우에는 암세포의 성장이 매우 빠르고 치료도 방사선치료를 기본으로 하며 예후도 비소세포폐암에 비해서 좋지가 못하다. |

| 영문 | embryonal carcinoma | 한글 | 배아암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 생식세포에서 생기는 암종의 하나로 대부분 고환에서 발생한다. 드물게는 종격동에서도 발생한다. 40~50대의 남성에게 많으나, 이보다 낮은 연령층에서도 나타난다. 육안적으로는 회백색의 분엽을 보이는 덩어리를 형성하며, 고환 악성 종양 중 예후가 좋은 편이다. 치료의 원칙은 가급적 신속하게 원발소를 절제하고 예상되는 전이병터에 대하여 방사선 조사요법을 행해야 한다. 태생암종 방사선요법에 대하여 매우 감수성이 높기 때문에 병기가 초기이면 90% 이상의 치료가 기대된다. 그리고 화학요법제에 의해 그 치료성과가 상승하고 있다. |

| 영문 | carcinoma in situ | 한글 | 상피내암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신체의 내부나 외부를 쌓고 있는 조직을 상피라고 한다. 이 상피의 아래에는 대개 상피를 지지하고 있는 조직의 위에 존재한다. 그리고 이 지지조직과 상피 사이에는 기저막이라는 막이 있어서 상피와 지지조직을 구분해 준다. 암종(carcinoma)란 상피의 세포가 악성 변화를 하여 생기는 암을 말한다. 제자리암종이란 암종의 한 종류로 암종이 기저막을 벗어나지 못하고 상피내 즉, 제자리에 머물러 있는 경우를 말한다. |

| 영문 | carcinoma | 한글 | 암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 암종이란 상피세포(-신체의 내부나 외부를 쌓고 있는 조직을 상피라고 하고, 상피를 이루고 있는 세포를 상피세포라고 한다)의 과도한 증식에의한 악성종양을 이르는 말이다. |

| supravaginal portion of cervix | The part of the cervix of the uterus lying above the attachment of the vagina. Synonym: portio supravaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| incompetant cervix | A cervix that is abnormally liable to dilate and so is not competant to keep the foetus up in the uterus and keep it from being spontaneously aborted (miscarried). (12 Dec 1998) |
| incompetent cervix | A cervix with the inability to remain closed throughout an entire pregnancy, a frequent cause of premature birth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tooth cervix | The constricted part of the tooth at the junction of the crown and root or roots. It is often referred to as the cementoenamel junction (cej), the line at which the cementum covering the root of a tooth and the enamel of the tooth meet. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acinic cell carcinoma | <tumour> An adenocarcinoma arising from secreting cells of a racemose gland, particularly the salivary glands. Synonym: acinar carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, acinose carcinoma, acinous carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm consisting chiefly of glandular epithelium (adenocarcinoma), usually well differentiated, with foci of metaplasia to squamous (or epidermoid) neoplastic cells. Synonym: adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma, thought to be derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli; involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular; microscopically, the neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures; mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells; metastases in regional lymph nodes, and even in more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent. Synonym: alveolar cell carcinoma, bronchiolar adenocarcinoma, bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal cell carcinoma | <oncology, tumour> The most common form of skin cancer. A malignant growth of epidermal tissue, specifically basal cells. most common in the fair-skinned on sun-exposed areas (especially the face). (15 Nov 1997) |
| basal squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma of the skin which in structure and behaviour is considered transitional between basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma The term should not be used for the much more common keratotic variety of basal cell carcinoma, in which the tumour cells are of basal type but which contains small foci of abrupt keratinization. Synonym: basal squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinoma, acinar cell | A malignant tumour arising from secreting cells of a racemose gland, particularly the salivary glands. Racemose (latin racemosus, full of clusters) refers, as does acinar (latin acinus, grape), to small saclike dilatations in various glands. Acinar cell carcinomas are usually well differentiated and account for about 13% of the cancers arising in the parotid gland. Lymph node metastasis occurs in about 16% of cases. Local recurrences and distant metastases many years after treatment are common. This tumour appears in all age groups and is most common in women. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, basal cell | A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). More than 95% of these carcinomas occur in patients over 40. They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, giant cell | An epithelial neoplasm characterised by unusually large anaplastic cells. It is highly malignant with fulminant clinical course, bizarre histologic appearance and poor prognosis. It is most common in the lung and thyroid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, islet cell | A carcinoma of the islets of langerhans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, large cell | A tumour of undifferentiated (anaplastic) cells of large size. It is usually bronchogenic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, merkel cell | A carcinoma arising from merkel cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis and occurring most commonly as a primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Merkel cells are tactile cells of neuroectodermal origin and histologically show neurosecretory granules. The skin of the head and neck are a common site of merkel cell carcinoma, occurring generally in elderly patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
