Pelvic tumor
Pelvic Tumor
A Pelvic Tumor (pronunciation: /ˈpɛlvɪk ˈtjuːmər/) is a pathological condition characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in the pelvis. The term 'pelvic tumor' is derived from the Latin words 'pelvis' meaning basin and 'tumor' meaning swelling.
Types of Pelvic Tumors
Pelvic tumors can be broadly classified into two types: benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not spread to other parts of the body, while malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread to other parts of the body through a process known as metastasis.
Symptoms
The symptoms of a pelvic tumor can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. Common symptoms include pelvic pain, changes in bowel or bladder habits, and unexplained weight loss.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of a pelvic tumor typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as MRI or CT scan. In some cases, a biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment
Treatment options for pelvic tumors depend on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these.
Prognosis
The prognosis for individuals with a pelvic tumor varies widely and depends on several factors, including the type and stage of the tumor, the patient's overall health, and the effectiveness of the treatment.
