| apo- | off; away |
| -ptosis | falling; drooping; prolapse |
| Benign | of a disease not harmful in effect |
| cac/o | bad |
| -hexia | state of |
| chem/o | chemical drug |
| -therapy | treatment |
| cry/o | cold |
| plas/o | formation |
| -tic | pertaining to |
| -genesis | formation |
| carcin/o | cancerous; cancer |
| -gen | substance that produces |
| Carcinoma in situ | Referring to localized tumor cells that have not invaded adjacent structures. (Latin in situ means in place.) Cancer of the cervix may begin as carcinoma in situ |
| Epidermoid | Resembling squamous epithelial cells (thin, plate-like); often occurring in the respiratory tract. |
| -oid | derived from, related to, resembling or originating from |
| derm/o | skin |
| epi- | above; upon; on |
| Exenteration | Wide resection involving removal of the tumor, its organ of origin, and all surrounding tissue in the body space. |
| Fractionation | A method of dividing radiation into small, repeated doses rather than fewer large doses. Fractionation allows larger total doses to be given while causing less damage to normal tissue |
| -plasia | development; formation; growth |
| Infiltrative | Extending beyond normal tissue boundaries into adjacent tissues |
| Invasive | Having the ability to enter and destroy surrounding tissue |
| Malignant | Tumor having the characteristics of continuous growth, invasiveness, and metastasi |
| meta- | beyond |
| -stasis | control |
| -suppression | to stop |
| myel/o | spinal cord; bone marrow |
| oste/o | bone |
| sarc/o | flesh (connective tissue) |
| Morbidity | Condition of being unwell or deficient in normal function. |
| Mutation | Change in the genetic material (DNA) of a cell; may be caused by chemicals, radiation, or viruses or may occur spontaneously. |
| Neoplasm | New growth; benign or malignant tumor. |
| Neo | new |
| onc/o | tumor |
| -logy | study (process of) |

| Papillary | A microscopic description of tumor cell growth |
| ple/o | many, more |
| morph/o | shape; form |
| prot/o | first |
| Virus | A virus is an infectious microbe consisting of a segment of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. |
| sarc/o | flesh (connective tissue) |
| radi/o | radioactivity |
| radioresistant tumor | Tumor that requires large doses of radiation to produce death of the cells. Melanoma and renal carcinoma are among the most radioresistant tumors |
| Radiosensitive tumor | Tumor in which irradiation can cause the death of cells without serious damage to surrounding tissue (morbidity). Tumors of hematopoietic (blood-forming) and lymphatic origins are radiosensitive. |
