| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| diagnostic techniques, endocrine | Methods and procedures for the diagnosis of diseases or dysfunction of the endocrine glands or demonstration of their physiological processes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| endocrine | Pertaining to internal secretions, hormonal. Compare: exocrine. Origin: Gr. Krinein = to separate (18 Nov 1997) |
| endocrine cells of gut | Cells found throughout the lining of the gastrointestinal tract that contain regulatory peptide hormones and/or biogenic amines. The substances are located in secretory granules and act in an endocrine or paracrine manner. Some of these substances are also found in neurons in the gut. There are at least 15 different types of endocrine cells of the gut. Some take up amine precursors and have been called apud cells. However, most endocrine cells of the gut apparently have endodermal rather than neuroectodermal origin, so the relationship with apud cells is not clear. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endocrine disorders | Disorders which involve the over-production or under-production of hormone substances from an endocrine gland. Some examples include diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, Cushing's disease, Cushing's syndrome and acromegaly. (27 Sep 1997) |
| endocrine exophthalmos | Exophthalmos associated with thyroid gland disorders. See: Graves' ophthalmopathy, Graves' orbitopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocrine gland | Organs or gland that secrete regulatory substances directly into the circulation and not through a duct. Examples are pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, ovary and testis, placenta and beta cells of pancreas. (27 Sep 1997) |
| endocrine gland neoplasms | Tumour or cancer of the endocrine glands in general or unspecified. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endocrine glands | Ductless glands that secrete substances which are released directly into the circulation and which influence metabolism and other body functions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endocrine hormones | Hormones produced by the endocrine system. Compare: tissue hormones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocrine manipulation | Treating breast cancer by changing the hormonal balance of the body to prevent hormone dependent cancer cells from multiplying. (09 Oct 1997) |
| endocrine ophthalmopathy | Exophthalmos caused by increased water content of retro-ocular orbital tissues; associated with thyroid disease, usually hyperthyroidism. Synonym: endocrine ophthalmopathy, Graves' orbitopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocrine surgical procedures | Surgery performed on any endocrine gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endocrine system | The system of glands that release their secretions (hormones) directly into the circulatory system. In addition to the endocrine glands, included are the chromaffin system and the neurosecretory systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculosis, endocrine | Tuberculous infection of the endocrine glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial multiple endocrine adenomatosis | The presence of functioning tumours in more than one endocrine gland, commonly the pancreatic islets and parathyroid glands, which may be associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome; dominant inheritance. Synonym: multiple endocrine adenomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
