A: This says that without using contrast that it looks like everything in those organs (liver, spleen, gall bladder, pancreas, adrenals, and kidneys" are normal (within normal limits). Perhaps the next sentence means there is some sort of ascities or something, but i''m not sure what that means. Hi there -- I''m going to preface my comment by saying what I know about lymph nodes is in regard to pelvic lymph nodes only (and may apply to all, but my info comes from what I was told about the pelvic nodes specifically), and not to scare you, as it could be caused by a lot of things and is probably nothing, but it''s my understanding that lymph nodes are generally not detected on CT or MRI scans unless they are over a certain size (lymph nodes are generally quite small). A lymph node of...

A: wioth a family history , you need in deed at least once a year get a pap smear and an ultrasound of your uterus. for now I think that you have an hormonal imbalance, that need birth control pills to reequilibrate, but usually it is a 3 months treatment not 2 years. I suggest you to see a gyn for an exploration and treatment do not wait for a referal. Uterine cancer is the most common gynecological cancer As with any cancer, the exact reason why one woman gets uterine and another does not is unknown . However, there are well-recognized risk factors which increase a woman"s chance of developing it. These have much in common with breast cancer risks, since both cells in the uterus and breast respond to hormone stimulation: 1) Obesity is linked to a 10 times...

A: any cancer jump as you said to lymph nodes we call this metastasis and invasion, it is available for the type of cancer that you had or any other cancer. usually we use a staging for an evaluation including a preoperatory staging [ct or MRI] and a post operatory staging with exploration, if it did spread around in the lymph nodes the surgeon can feel it, or see it but sometimes the size of the tumor is so small that it can not be seen, but the pathology will tell more about it and usually you wait 15 days to know the final results. Following the surgery depending on the staging but in you case I think a chemotherapy might be needed to make sure that every tumoral cells are killed. After any cancer there is recurrences meaning the cancer either can come back or the small cells that...

A: To many to list,go talk to a doctor. Good luck:) cancer can be effected all over our bodies i would go for a check up go from there The unfortunate fact is that cancer is a very sneaky disease.

A: Gynecologic ultrasonography, or gynecologic sonography, is the use of ultrasound imaging in order to detect abnormalities or to monitor the health of the female reproductive tract. Structures that can be examined through gynecologic ultrasonography include the uterus, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, pouch of Douglas, and adnexae. Other related structures in the pelvis, such as the bladder, kidneys, and ureters, may also be examined. The two routes of gynecologic ultrasonography are transabdominal and transvaginal. Utilization of these routes depends on the indication or need for imaging.. Medical ultrasonography is an imaging method that uses the reflection of sound to produce images of certain structures. No radiation is used, making it safer than other imaging procedures, such as radiography...

A: Vaginal cancer is a rare gynecological cancer which originates in the vagina. Around one percent of gynecological cancers are vaginal cancers, making this cancer extremely unusual, and when this cancer is caught early, the prognosis can be very good for the patient. Regular gynecological exams can detect vaginal cancer and the signs of other gynecological cancers and reproductive health problems, which is why these exams are critical for all women. There are several types of cancer which can be found in the vagina. The most common is squamous cell carcinoma, a slow-growing cancer which rarely metastasizes, although it...

A: Dear Reader, Vulvar cancer is a neglected health topic, in part because it is very rare (accounting for less than 1 percent of all cancers occurring in women). Of all of the questions asked here since 1993, no one has inquired about this subject yet. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Education about vulvar cancer is important because early detection dramatically improves a woman`s chances of survival. When vulvar cancer is detected in its early stages, before it has spread to the lymph nodes, the five-year survival rate is 90 percent. This number drops to 50 to 70 percent when the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Although cancer of the vulva can include malignancies growing anywhere on the external female genitalia, vulvar cancer is most often found on...

A: Vulvar cancer is a rare form of gynecological cancer. It forms in the outer area of the female genitals called the vulva. Most vulvar cancers are a type skin cancer that takes a long time to develop. Occasionally this type of cancer can begin as a melanoma. Identifying vulvar cancer early increases a woman''s chances of a cure. So, having gynecologic exams on a regular basis is important....
