Dukes' classification (Cuthbert Esquire Dukes)
Associated persons: Cuthbert Esquire Dukes
Description: A classification or staging system for colorectal cancer that gives doctors a guide to the risk of the cancer coming back or spreading to other parts of the body. The original Dukes classification of 1932 described the staging of rectal carcinoma only but can also be applied to carcinomas of the colon. It is divided into three simple stages, A to C. Stage D has been added later. Several modified versions exist.
I can't quite understand this doctor...it sounds like she is describing this patient's colon cancer as "Y-type". I can't find anything like that anywhere...any help would be soooo appreciated! ...

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.

Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...
Gleason score 4 + 5 = 9 involving 35% of the specimen, 1 out of 1 cores contained cancer, linx of cancer was 0.35 cm.

Should this be a colon since it is giving a list?
She does not recall ever suffering from any developed mental disorders such as: Bed wetting, sleep walking, temper tantrums, or reading disabilities.
and does anyone know of a good way to understand if there should be colon use or not?
...
Dictated: "... at which time I performed a colon resection for perforated rectum secondary to a s/l SIR-kir-uhl ulcer."
He says it very clearly - not circular, not sacral - but he might be mispronouncing it.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
...
what the heck...and since when is "it" with no other identifier as to what "it" is, other then the preceding sentence, able to form a complete sentence? ...
a word expander like Speed Type would do that? And can you use Speed Type along with MS Word? And transfer over all your AutoCorrect entries easily? I emailed the company but haven't heard from them. : ( ...
I'm working on an audio from a bariatric surgeon. He's talking about a woman's abdominal CT and he says "...it looked normal. She did have some (s/l hostule) thickening of the distal colon..."
Any help is most certainly appreciated! ...
I cannot find this abbreviation on Google or in Stedman's. Full sentence:
"History of (s/l "ADM") in his proximal ascending colon with slowly spontaneous oozing."
Atypical diabetes mellitus doesn't seem right in this context. ...
Doing my first op report regarding a sigmoid colon resection. Does anyone know a site that would describe the anatomy in this area? I am hearing things that sound like "mobilizing white line of Toltol"and I am pretty sure it is only going to get more complicated. Help! Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. ...
can someone tell me if I should capitalize a generic drug name following a colon?
CURRENT MEDICATIONS: lisinopril 40 mg 1 daily and thyroid supplement.

I have seen these done in multiple fashion. ...

I am still pretty new to oncology and am really baffled by this one. Gyne/onologist:
"XXX returns having last been seen in 2010. She has been followed at MD Anderson in the interim. She has had a recurrence of her disease, was treated with s/l "Electrosol" for a long period of time"
I just keep thinking about the dishwasher detergent! And it is pretty clear, as well. Not finding anything close to this. Can anyone help here?? I am really baffled.&n ...
