Melanoma
Melanoma, also redundantly known as malignant melanoma, is a type of skin cancer that develops from the pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically occur in the skin, but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye ( uveal melanoma). In women, they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men, they most commonly occur on the back. About 25% of melanomas develop from moles. Changes in a mole that can indicate melanoma include an increase in size, irregular edges, change in color, itchiness, or skin breakdown. The primary cause of melanoma is ultraviolet light (UV) exposure in those with low levels of the skin pigment melanin. The UV light may be from the sun or other sources, such as tanning devices. Those with many moles, a history of affected family members, and poor immune function are at greater risk. A number of rare genetic conditions, such as xeroderma pigmentosum, also increase the risk. Diagnosis is by biopsy and analysis of any sk ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar yea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

WHO Classification Of Tumours Of The Central Nervous System
The following is a simplified (deprecated) version of the 2021 WHO classification of the tumours of the central nervous system. Currently, as of 2021, clinicians are using the WHO grade 5th edition, which incorporates recent advances in molecular pathology. Listed for each tumour are the WHO official name, the ICD-O code (with Arabic numeral, where /0 indicates "benign" tumour, /3 malignant tumour and /1 borderline tumour), and the WHO Grade (a parameter connected with the "aggressiveness" of the tumour), also in Arabic numerals as per the updated 2021 guidelines.See the article Grading of the tumors of the central nervous system. 1. Gliomas, glioneuronal tumors, and neuronal tumours :1.1 Adult-type diffuse gliomas ::1.1.1 Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant ::1.1.2 Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant, and 1p/19q-codeleted ::1.1.3 Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype :1.2 Pediatric-type diffuse low-grade gliomas ::1.2.1 Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB- or MYBL1-altered ::1.2.2 Angiocentric glioma ::1.2.3 ...

Lesions
A lesion is any damage or abnormal change in the tissue of an organism, usually caused by disease or trauma. ''Lesion'' is derived from the Latin "injury". Lesions may occur in plants as well as animals. Types There is no designated classification or naming convention for lesions. Since lesions can occur anywhere in the body and the definition of a lesion is so broad, the varieties of lesions are virtually endless. Generally, lesions may be classified by their patterns, their sizes, their locations, or their causes. They can also be named after the person who discovered them. For example, Ghon lesions, which are found in the lungs of those with tuberculosis, are named after the lesion's discoverer, Anton Ghon. The characteristic skin lesions of a varicella zoster virus infection are called ''chickenpox''. Lesions of the teeth are usually called dental caries. Location Lesions are often classified by their tissue types or locations. For example, a "skin lesion" or a " bra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melanoma Institute Australia
The Melanoma Institute Australia is a non-profit organization based at the Poche Centre in North Sydney, Australia which focuses on prevention of and cure for melanoma through research, treatment and education programs. The institute is affiliated with The University of Sydney and St Vincent’s and Mater Health Sydney. It relies on funding from individuals, organisations and government grants. History In 1957, a paper in the Medical Journal of Australia showed the link between sunlight and melanoma. This led the late Professor Gerald Milton to set up the Sydney Melanoma Clinic at Sydney Hospital. In 1983 the clinic moved to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and was renamed the Sydney Melanoma Unit. In 2007, the Sydney Melanoma Unit became Melanoma Institute Australia and in 2010, the Institute moved into the Poche Centre, which was funded by a $40 million donation from Greg Poche. Research Research at the Melanoma Institute Australia aims to increase understanding of the genetic and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
