DISTANT SPREAD [10 records]

Record 1 2023-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cancers and Oncology
DEF

A malignant neoplastic disease, in which there is an uncontrolled proliferation of cells, typically with invasion and destruction of adjacent normal tissue, and often with metastatic spread to distant parts of the body via lymphatics or blood vessels...

OBS

Cancer includes the two broad categories of carcinoma and sarcoma, but ... is often [misused as a synonym for] carcinoma.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cancers et oncologie
DEF

Maladie qui se développe quand des cellules anormales d'un organe ou d'un tissu se mettent à se multiplier de manière désordonnée.

OBS

Lorsque les cellules se développent de manière incontrôlée au point de former une masse, celle-ci est appelée tumeur.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tipos de cáncer y oncología
DEF

[Enfermedad que se caracteriza por] la división anormal e incontrolada de las células, que pueden manifestar invasividad y tendencia a hacer metástasis a nuevos sitios.

OBS

El crecimiento descontrolado de células anormales. Cuando se disemina a tejidos vecinos se llama invasión y cuando lo hace a tejidos distantes se denomina metástasis.

OBS

cáncer: El plural de "cáncer" es "cánceres", por lo que es inadecuado dejarlo invariable. [...] Cuando esta voz forma el plural [...] se siguen las normas generales de las palabras llanas o agudas acabadas en erre, a las que se añade la terminación -⁠es, como en los mártires, los cráteres o los líderes. Solo las esdrújulas, como los mánager, permanecen sin cambios.

Record 2 2015-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cancers and Oncology
CONT

Peritoneal mesothelioma is the second most common type of mesothelioma.... Spread(metastasis) to distant sites is not common with peritoneal mesothelioma and it does not usually spread to lymph nodes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cancers et oncologie
CONT

Le mésothéliome péritonéal est le deuxième type le plus courant de mésothéliome. [...] La propagation (métastases) à distance n’est pas courante pour le mésothéliome péritonéal et il ne se propage généralement pas aux ganglions lymphatiques.

Record 3 2014-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Cancers and Oncology
DEF

The classification of the severity of a disease in stages on the basis of the signs and symptoms and the paraclinical tests.

CONT

Assessment of the body burden and spread of cancer by clinical means(staging) is important in developing the treatment plan. Most staging systems assess the size of the primary tumor and define regional lymph node involvement, as well as the presence or absence of distant metastatic disease. It is important to distinguish between clinical and pathologic staging and to recognize that pathologic staging employing surgical biopsy is generally more accurate.

OBS

staging: term and definition standardized by the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Glossary English Editorial Board and the Translation Bureau.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
DEF

Said of a disease widely spread throughout an organ, a system, or the whole body; distant from the site of origin.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
DEF

Se dit d'une maladie qui à partir d'un foyer initial, a envahi un organe, un système, ou l'organisme tout entier.

En el caso de [una enfermedad], se refiere a que se extiende a todo el cuerpo.

Record 5 2004-07-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Farming Techniques
  • Vegetable Crop Production
DEF

The horticultural practice of growing one or more vegetable crops on a large scale for shipment to distant markets.

OBS

It is usually less intensive and diversified than market gardening. At first this type of farming depended entirely on local or regional markets. As the use of railroads and large-capacity trucks expanded and refrigerated carriers were introduced, truck farms spread to the cheaper lands of the West and South, shipping seasonal crops to relatively distant markets where their cultivation is limited by climate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques agricoles
  • Production légumière
CONT

La culture maraîchère champêtre en culture extensive. Il s'agit là d'un type de culture extensive relevant du domaine purement agricole. Il se pratique sur des étendues souvent considérables. [...] Son éloignement de gros centres de commercialisation ne représente plus un inconvénient majeur depuis la modernisation et l'accélération des moyens de transport.

OBS

Ce type de culture s'oppose au «market gardening», culture plutôt intensive desservant un marché local.

Record 6 2004-06-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Cancers and Oncology
DEF

A classification of the spread of malignant tumors used internationally, in which each letter is given a coefficient indicative of a degree of severity (T: local spread, or primary tumor; N (nodes): presence of [metastases in] lymph nodes; M: remote metastases).

CONT

TNM classification provides a system for staging the occurrence of cancer. T refers to the primary tumour and is categorised as being 1-4 and a-d depending upon site, size and spread, N refers to the lymph nodes and they are categorised as being X, 0, 1, 2, or 3 depending upon in any, some or all are involved metastases, and M to the presence or absence of distant metastases.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Cancers et oncologie
DEF

Classification de l'extension des tumeurs malignes, utilisée internationalement, où chaque lettre est affectée d'un coefficient correspondant à un degré de gravité (T : extension locale de la tumeur primitive; N (nodes) : [...] [atteinte aux ganglions (métastases)] M : métastases à distance).

Record 10 1977-09-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Planets
  • Astronomy
OBS

Just as the rails of a track seem to diverge from a distant point, so the trails of meteors in a shower appear to spread from a point or small area in the sky. The "radiant" of a meteor shower is the vanishing point in the perspective of the parallel trails; it is located by extending the trails backward.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Planètes
  • Astronomie
OBS

On observe systématiquement des "essaims météoriques" qui au cours d'un certain intervalle de temps (quelques nuits) apparaissent à peu près dans la même région du ciel. Si on prolonge leurs traces en arrière, ces traces se rencontreront près d'un point qu'on appelle "radiant".
