Waldenström macroglobulinemia (/ ˈ v æ l d ən s t r ɒ m ˌ m æ k r oʊ ˌ ɡ l ɒ b j ə l ɪ ˈ n iː m i ə / VAL-dən-strom MAK-roh-GLOB-yə-lin-EE-mee-ə, [1] [2] US also / ˈ v ɑː l d ən s t r ɛ m-/ VAHL-dən-strem - [3]) is a type of cancer affecting two types of B cells: lymphoplasmacytoid cells and plasma cells.
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 ...
Combined small cell lung carcinoma (or c-SCLC) is a form of multiphasic lung cancer that is diagnosed by a pathologist when a malignant tumor, arising from transformed cells originating in lung tissue, contains a component of;small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), admixed with one (or more) components of any histological variant of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in any relative proportion.
Oncology. Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ), or non-small-cell lung carcinoma, is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. [ 1][ 2][ 3] As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma.
K562 cells were the first human immortalised myelogenous leukemia cell line to be established. K562 cells are of the erythroleukemia type, and the cell line is derived from a 53-year-old female chronic myelogenous leukemia patient in blast crisis. [ 1][ 2] The cells are non-adherent and rounded, are positive for the bcr:abl fusion gene, and ...
MCF-7. MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. [ 1] MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. [ 2] The Michigan Cancer Foundation is now known as the Barbara Ann Karmanos ...
Originally the cell line was named MCF-7/ADR-RES; it was renamed together with the change in classification. Two brain cancer cell lines, SNB-19 and U251, were discovered to come from the same person. This makes a mixup likely. A 61st cell line, MDA-N, has been confirmed to being derived from the misclassified MDA-MB-435 cell line.

It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [ 1] Work on ICD-10 began in 1983, [ 2 ...
