Re: Prolapsed cord-->languageFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Thu Feb 23 19:53:06 2006
Hank: You weren't being a smart ass at all. I thought the same thing regarding CIS and depth of invasion--an oxymoron. Similarly, I bet all of us have heard of the patient who has a family history of ovarian cancer. When you ask the next few questions, like "Is that person still alive?" or "Did she have chemo?" you find that most didn't have ovarian cancer. Then, the next round of questions distinguish the reported diagnosis ("We'll, maybe it was CERVICAL cancer"), i.e. Did that person have radical surgery or radiation? Inevitably, the answer is a simple hysterectomy, which typically means a hysterectomy for dysplasia. FWIW, I don't say that dysplasia is pre-cancer. I say abnormal cells that are potentially pre-cancerous. Who knows if that works or not. Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
