  2. The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) is a domain-specific extension of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems for tumor diseases. This classification is widely used by cancer registries. It is currently in its third revision (ICD-O-3). ICD-10 includes a list of ...

  3. Histopathology of colorectal adenocarcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histopathology_of...

    Tumor cells describe irregular tubular structures, harboring pluristratification, multiple lumens, reduced stroma ("back to back" aspect). Sometimes, tumor cells are discohesive and secrete mucus, which invades the interstitium producing large pools of mucus. This occurs in mucinous adenocarcinoma, in which cells are poorly differentiated.

  4. Sessile serrated lesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_serrated_lesion

    Several SSLs confer a higher risk of subsequently finding colorectal cancer and warrant more frequent surveillance. The surveillance guidelines are the same as for other colonic adenomas . The surveillance interval is dependent on (1) the number of adenomas, (2) the size of the adenomas, and (3) the presence of high-grade microscopic features.

  5. Perineural invasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineural_invasion

    It is common in head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. Unlike perineural spread (PNS), which is defined as gross tumor spread along a larger, typically named nerve that is at least partially distinct from the main tumor mass and can be seen on imaging studies, PNI is defined as tumor cells infiltrating small, unnamed ...

  6. Serrated polyposis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serrated_polyposis_syndrome

    Serrated polyposis syndrome often does not cause symptoms. The risk of colon cancer is between 25 and 40%. [8] Sessile serrated polyps, as seen during endoscopy or colonoscopy, are flat (rather than raised) and are easily overlooked. Serrated lesions range in size from small (<5 mm) to large, and often have a "mucous cap" overlying the polyp.

  8. Soft-tissue sarcoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-tissue_sarcoma

    The only reliable way to determine whether a soft-tissue tumor is benign or malignant is through a biopsy. The two methods for acquisition of tumor tissue for cytopathological analysis are: Needle aspiration biopsy, via needle; Surgically, via an incision made into the tumor; A pathologist examines the tissue under a microscope.

  9. Micrometastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometastasis

    A micrometastasis is a small collection of cancer cells that has been shed from the original tumor and spread to another part of the body through the lymphovascular system. [1] Micrometastases are too few in size and quantity to be picked up in a screening or diagnostic test, and therefore cannot be seen with imaging tests such as a mammogram ...
