Full list of words from this list:

  1. meningioma
    a tumor arising in the meninges which surround the brain and spinal cord; usually slow growing and sometimes malignant
    Tumors which can often be removed entirely include some meningiomas, grade I astrocytomas, and ependymomas.
  2. tumor
    an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose
    Complete tumor removal.
  3. biopsy
    the removal and examination of tissue from a living body
    The only way to access this information, however, is by examining tumor tissue, which is provided by the neurosurgeon during an operation, either by partially removing the tumor or by a stereotactic biopsy.
  4. brain tumor
    a tumor in the brain
    As our treatments of primary brain tumor become more sophisticated and “tallored” to the individual tumor, it is becoming increasingly important to have adequate amounts of tissue for review by neuropathologists.
  5. pathological
    relating to the study of diseases
    Pathological identification.
  6. remove
    take something away as by lifting, pushing, or taking off
    Tumors which can often be removed entirely include some meningiomas, grade I astrocytomas, and ependymomas.
  7. removal
    the act of taking out or causing to leave
    Complete tumor removal.
  8. identification
    the act of designating something
    Pathological identification.
  9. specific
    stated explicitly or in detail
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  10. sophisticated
    having worldly knowledge and refinement
    As our treatments of primary brain tumor become more sophisticated and “tallored” to the individual tumor, it is becoming increasingly important to have adequate amounts of tissue for review by neuropathologists.
  11. expanded
    increased in extent or size or bulk or scope
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  12. detected
    perceived or discerned
    For this reason, it is important that you follow up regularly with your neurosurgeon so any tumor recurrence can be detected early.
    b.
  13. adequate
    having the requisite qualities or resources to meet a task
    As our treatments of primary brain tumor become more sophisticated and “tallored” to the individual tumor, it is becoming increasingly important to have adequate amounts of tissue for review by neuropathologists.
  14. removed
    separate or apart in time, space, or character
    Tumors which can often be removed entirely include some meningiomas, grade I astrocytomas, and ependymomas.
  15. appropriate
    suitable for a particular person, place, or situation
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  16. technology
    the practical application of science to commerce or industry
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  17. access
    the right to enter
    The only way to access this information, however, is by examining tumor tissue, which is provided by the neurosurgeon during an operation, either by partially removing the tumor or by a stereotactic biopsy.
  18. predict
    make a guess about what will happen in the future
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  19. detect
    discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of
    For this reason, it is important that you follow up regularly with your neurosurgeon so any tumor recurrence can be detected early.
    b.
  20. complete
    having all necessary qualities
    Complete tumor removal.
  21. grade
    a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
    Tumors which can often be removed entirely include some meningiomas, grade I astrocytomas, and ependymomas.
  22. primary
    of first rank or importance or value
    As our treatments of primary brain tumor become more sophisticated and “tallored” to the individual tumor, it is becoming increasingly important to have adequate amounts of tissue for review by neuropathologists.
  23. surgeon
    a physician who specializes in surgery
    However, complete removal does not mean that you can forget about the tumor completely, because these tumors can come back even if all visible signs of them are removed by the surgeon.
  24. expand
    extend in one or more directions
    For example, over the last several years, specific markers that predict how well you will respond to specific treatments have become routinely available, and this technology will certainly be expanded as we learn more about tumors and their appropriate treatments.
  25. examine
