Radiation fastitis? - Cp
Posted: Jan 10, 2011
I can't figure out what this word should be. It s/l fest-itis. It doesn't sound like fasciitis. Do any of you know what it might be?
Postprocedure Diagnoses: Urinary retention, prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (obstructive), and radiation fastitis.
Thanks!
If you're sure....sm - GT
[ In Reply To ..]it starts with an f, I'm not sure but, considering how some docs can slur their words and make any letter sound like another...it could be radiation proctitis which is an inflammation of the lower parts of the colon, especially after radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

[ In Reply To ..]I was just coming back on to post it is radiation cystitis! I transcribed another report from the same doctor and it was more clear on a different patient. Thank you both for helping.

T2N0P(i)? Need Help On Radiation Oncology Dictation!
Oct 09, 2011
I am working on a radiation oncology dictation and the MD is stating that a breast tumor is measuring s/l T2N0P(i)...I am familiar with the first part of this cancer staging (the T-N part) but can't seem to find any reference to the second portion. It really sounds like he is saying "P." I see it referenced as a lowercase p but can't figure it out for sure. He dictated the lowercase "i" being in parentheses too, but I can't find any reference for that either! An ...
