Patient has cancer of several sinuses. During the PE doc says "She has s/l meadows in the lower left jaw." Meadows?? I'm wondering if he means "metals" as he is a heavy ESL Asian doc, but that doesn't make sense either. This patient is also Asian and so I'm wondering if this is some cultural thing on the order of tattoos or lip/nose/wherever rings. Anyone have an idea? Thanks so much. ...

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0.
I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place.

This is a patient who is on third line chemotherapy for metastatic small cell lung cancer. He has progressed through carbotaxol, carbo VP16 and is now on topotecan.
I can't find carbotaxol or carbo VP16 and I don't have good chemo references. Is carbotaxol carboplatin and taxol?
I guess my question is, should it be written carboplatin/taxol and carboplatin VP1-16?
Or how should this be written? Help, I'm at a loss here.
TIA!! :-) ...
This is exactly what the doctor says. I'm unsure how to write it out. Any help would be appreciated.
