  2. Metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastasis

    The tumor in the lung is then called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer. Metastasis is a key element in cancer staging systems such as the TNM staging system, where it represents the "M". In overall stage grouping, metastasis places a cancer in Stage IV. The possibilities of curative treatment are greatly reduced, or often entirely ...

  3. Brain metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_metastasis

    Metastasis is the most common cause of brain cancer, as primary tumors that originate in the brain are less common. [4] The most common sites of primary cancer which metastasize to the brain are lung, breast, colon, kidney, and skin cancer. Brain metastases can occur months or even years after the original or primary cancer is treated.

  4. Malignancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignancy

    Malignancy in cancers is characterized by anaplasia, invasiveness, and metastasis. [5] Malignant tumors are also characterized by genome instability , so that cancers, as assessed by whole genome sequencing , frequently have between 10,000 and 100,000 mutations in their entire genomes. [ 6 ]

  5. Invasion (cancer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_(cancer)

    A malignant tumor is defined by its capacity to initiate a biological phenomenon known as the metastatic cascade, a complex multi-stage process in which cell invasion precedes further cancer progression and the formation of metastases in distant organs and tissues. Massive metastatic lesions lead to the development of organ failure.

  6. Anger management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger_management

    Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. It has been described as deploying anger successfully. [ 1 ] Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important.

  7. Micrometastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometastasis

    Approximately 90 per cent of people who die from cancer die from metastatic disease, since these cells are so challenging to detect. [2] It is important for these cancer cells to be treated immediately after discovery, in order to prevent the relapse (regrowth of the cancer) and the likely death of the patient.

  8. Bone metastasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_metastasis

    Bone metastasis, or osseous metastatic disease, is a category of cancer metastases that result from primary tumor invasions into bones. Bone-originating primary tumors such as osteosarcoma , chondrosarcoma , and Ewing sarcoma are rare; the most common bone tumor is a metastasis. [ 1 ]

  9. Intermittent explosive disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_explosive...

    Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) or Episodic dyscontrol syndrome (EDS) is a mental and behavioral disorder characterized by explosive outbursts of anger and/or violence, often to the point of rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand (e.g., impulsive shouting, screaming or excessive reprimanding triggered by relatively inconsequential events).
