If possible therefore, surgical removal is indicated if the disease is localized to the pelvis. This may vary from simple hysterectomy to total pelvic exenteration. Chemotherapy has not proved effective in these tumor • The signs and symptoms of recurrent malignant disease are: • Positive cytologic examination • Palpable tumor in pelvis or abdomen • Ulceration of cervix or vagina • Unilateral lower extremity edema • Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy

  3. History • a vocabulary from ancient Greek and Latin • Ancient doctors, e.g. Hippocrates: epilepsy, dysentery, asthma, diarrhea • New advances in medical science – new terms derived from everyday vocabulary, e.g. cyt – kytos (hollow container)-cell

  4. Why do we need to learn medical terminology ? To speak and to write exactly Health professional around the world use medical vocabulary to speak and to write exactly International language, Efficiency and effective learning “Perkembangan IPTEKDOK seiring dengan perkembangan medical terminology, New sciences/technology = New terminology”

  5. How do we learn medical terminology? • like learning other languages: memorize the vocabulary!! • logical language: • most terms can be broken down into its basic component parts and understood • “basic word structure”

  6. PANCYTOPENIA Basic Word Structure PREFIX COMBINING VOWEL WORD ROOT SUFFIX COMBINING FORM

  7. Medical Terminology Commonly Used: Roots, Prefix and Suffix

  8. WORD ROOT • FOUNDATION OF THE WORD GASTER =GASTROS ROOT (stomach)

  9. PREFIX • WORD BEGINNING EPIGASTRIC PREFIX (above)

  10. SUFFIX • WORD ENDING GASTRITIS SUFFIX (inflammation)

  11. COMPOUND WORD • TWO OR MORE WORD ROOTS ELECTROCARDIOGRAM GASTROENTERITIS WORD ROOTS

  12. LEUKOCYTE LEUKOCYTOSIS SUFFIX or COMPOUND SUFFIX FORM LEUKOCYTOPENIA

  13. Correlate an understanding of a word with basic anatomy, physiology, and disease process of the human body PANCYTOPENIA • PAN : all • CYT : cell • PENIA : deficiency DEFICIENCY OF ALL CELLS (deficiency of all types of blood cells)

  14. LEUKEMIA • LEUK (root): white • EM (root): blood • IA (suffix): state (noun) • EMIA (compound-suffix form): state of blood “white blood” malignancy of white blood cells

  15. The origin of a medical term • Greek noun or adjective • Greek verb • Latin noun or adjective • Latin verb • Influence how it was used in modern medical term

  27. Greek nouns and adjectives (1) Root of a noun or an adjective is found by dropping the ending (os, on, e, s, ys) nephros – nephritis neuron – neuritis leukos – leukemia tachys – tachypnea glykys -- glycemia

  28. Greek nouns and adjectives (2) … when a suffix begins with a consonant attached to a root ends with a consonant, a combining vowel is needed leukocyte neurogenic nephroblast

  29. so…drop the combining vowel before a suffix beginning with a vowel GASTRIC, and not GASTROIC LEUKEMIA, and not LEUKOEMIA

  30. but… retain the combining vowel between two roots in a word GASTROENTERITIS ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM

  31. Greek nouns and adjectives (3) Some words may come in two combining forms:
