Cachexia
Loss of body weight and muscle mass, and weakness that may occur in patients with cancer, AIDS, or other chronic disease. Cachexia is a common manifestation of late stage mesothelioma.
Calcification
The process in which tissue becomes hardened as a result of calcium deposits.
Cancer
A general term for a large group of diseases, all characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer is either benign (localized) or malignant (capable of spreading).
Cancer Care Team
The group of health care professionals who work together to find, treat, and care for people with cancer. The cancer care team may include any or all of the following and others: primary care physician, pathologist, oncology specialists (medical oncologist, radiation oncologist), surgeon, nurse, oncology nurse specialist and oncology social worker. Whether the team is linked formally or informally, there is usually one person who takes the job of coordinating the team.
Cancer Center
A hospital that specializes only in the care of patients with cancer. An NCI designated cancer center is specifically recognized and partially funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Cancer in Situ
The stage where the cancer is still confined to the tissue in which it started.
Cancerophobia
An obsessive fear of cancer.
Carcinoid
A tumor, usually benign or of low-grade malignancy, which is often found in the intestines.
Cardiovascular
Pertaining to the heart and the blood vessels.
Cancer-Related Checkup
A routine health examination for cancer in persons without obvious signs or symptoms of cancer. The goal of the cancer-related checkup is to find the disease, if it exists, at an early stage, when chances for cure are greatest. Clinical breast examinations, Pap smears, and skin examinations are examples of methods used in cancer-related checkups. (See also detection.)
Candidiasis
A disease caused by a species of the yeast-like fungus Candida, usually C. albicans. Candidiasis can affect the skin, nails and mucous membranes throughout the body including the mouth (thrush), esophagus, vagina (yeast infection), intestines and lungs.
Capsaicin
A derivative of red pepper that is used as a topical analgesic, especially for the pain of peripheral neuropathy.
Carboplatin
A chemotherapy drug used against some forms of cancer (mainly ovarian carcinoma, lung, head and neck cancers). It was introduced in the late 1980s and has since gained popularity in clinical treatment due to its vastly reduced side-effects compared to its parent compound Cisplatin.
Carcinogen
A substance that causes cancer. For example, nicotine in cigarettes is a carcinogen that causes lung cancer.
Carcinogenic
Substances that produce cancer or cancer growth.
Carcinoma
Any cancer that arises from epithelial cells in the skin or the lining of organs. It is malignant by definition: carcinomas invade surrounding tissues and organs, and may spread to lymph nodes and distal sites (metastasis). Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a pre-malignant condition, in which cytological signs of malignancy are present, but there is no histological evidence of invasion through the epithelial basement membrane.
Cervical Carcinoma
A cancer of the cervix (the neck of the uterus).
Cardiac Tamponade
Bleeding into the pericardium, or heart sac, which interferes with the functioning of the heart.
Cardiologist
A specialist in the treatment of conditions related to the heart who would perform the appropriate tests to see if a patient is functionally able to tolerate surgery.

An enlargement of the heart.
Carve-Out Policy
A contracted agreement between an insurance company and another company which provides special services to its members, such as prescription drugs or cancer treatment.
Case Manager
The member of a cancer care team, usually a nurse or oncology nurse specialist, who coordinates the patient's care throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The case manager is a new concept that provides a guide through the complex system of health care by helping cut through red tape, getting responses to questions, managing crises, and connecting the patient and family to needed resources.
Catheter
A flexible tube used to deliver fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body.
CAT Scan
A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles; the pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called computerized axial tomography, computed tomography (CT scan), or computerized tomography.
Cavities
Holes in the two outer layers of a tooth called the enamel and the dentin. The enamel is the outermost white hard surface and the dentin is the yellow layer just beneath enamel. Both layers serve to protect the inner living tooth tissue called the pulp, where blood vessels and nerves reside. Small cavities may not cause pain, and may be unnoticed by the patient. Larger cavities can collect food, and the inner pulp of the affected tooth can become irritated by bacterial toxins, foods that are cold, hot, sour, or sweet - causing toothache. Also referred to as caries.
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Determines whether the proper number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are present in the patient's blood.
CCR-5 (CKR-5)
A protein found on certain blood cells that acts as a receptor site for chemokines; CCR-5 binds with the chemokines MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta and RANTES. CCR-5 functions as a co-receptor which HIV uses to infect cells. Individuals who lack 2 functional copies of the gene that makes
CD4
A protein marker on the surface of certain types of T-lymphocytes and other cells. HIV uses the CD4 receptor to enter the cell.
CD4 Cell (CD4 Lymphocyte, T-Helper Cell)
A type of white blood cell that carries the CD4 surface marker and helps the body fight infection. CD4 cells engulf and process invaders (e.g., viruses) and release cytokines that coordinate a broad range of immune system activities. The CD4 cell count is the number of CD4 lymphocytes in a cubic millimeter (mm3) of blood.
CD8 Cell (CD8 Lymphocyte)
A type of white blood cell that helps regulate and/or carry out the body's immune response. Two major subsets of T-cells express the CD8 surface marker: T-suppressor cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL).
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
Antigens found in fetal tissue. If found CEA is found in an adult, they may be a symptom of cancerous tumors. Tests for these antigens may help in diagnosing cancer and in finding out if the cancer has spread.
CEA Test
The CarcinoEmbryonic Antigen Test measures the amount of this protein that may appear in the blood of some people who have certain kinds of cancers, especially large intestine (colon and rectal) cancer. It may also be present in people with cancer of the pancreas, breast, ovary, or lung.
Cell
The basic structural and functional unit in people and all living things. Each cell is a small container of chemicals and water wrapped in a membrane.
Cell Antiviral Factor (CAF)
A soluble substance produced by CD8 cells that inhibits HIV replication in infected cells.

Chemotherapeutic Agent
A chemical agent that has a specific toxic effect on micro-organisms or cancer.
Chemokine
A soluble factor secreted by certain immune system cells that stimulates the activity of other cells. Chemokines have chemoattractant properties and act as messengers between cells. Alpha chemokines contain an amino acid between 2 cysteine residues; beta chemokines do not contain an intervening amino acid. Certain chemokines (e.g., MIP-1-alpha, MIP-1-beta, RANTES) have been shown to affect the activity of HIV; certain chemokine receptors (e.g., CCR-5, CXCR-4) are necessary for entry by HIV into cells.
Chemoprevention
Prevention or reversal of disease using drugs, chemicals, vitamins, or minerals. While this idea is not ready for widespread use, it is a very promising area of study. The Breast Cancer Prevention Trial has shown that the drug tamoxifen can prevent some cases of breast cancer among women with high risk of the disease. But the drug may have some serious side effects.
Chemopreventive Agent
The use of natural or synthetic substances to reduce the risk of developing cancer, or to reduce the chance that cancer will recur (come back)

Chest
The area of the body located between the neck and the abdomen. The chest contains the lungs, the heart and part of the aorta. The walls of the chest are supported by the dorsal vertebrae, the ribs, and the sternum.
Chest Pain
There are many causes of chest pain. One is angina which results from inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Angina can be caused by coronary artery disease or spasm of the coronary arteries. Chest pain can also be due to a heart attack (coronary occlusion) and other important diseases such as, for example, dissection of the aorta and a pulmonary embolism . Do not try to ignore chest pain and "work (or play) though it." Chest pain is a warning to seek medical attention.
Chest Wall
Consists of all the anatomical structures that surround the lungs and pleura, including the intercostals, the ribs, and the diaphragm.
Chest X-Ray
A chest x-ray is a radiology test that involves exposing the chest briefly to radiation to produce an image of the chest and the internal organs of the chest. Chest x-rays can be used to define abnormalities of the lungs such as excessive fluid, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, cysts, and cancers.

Chronic Bronchitis
A condition associated with prolonged exposure to nonspecific bronchial irritants (usually cigarette smoke) and accompanied by alterations in the bronchi. It is characterized by a chronic productive cough. A condition characterized with increased mucus secretions and caused by viral infections, manifested with prolonged exposure to bronchial irritants. Sometimes masks symptoms of mesothelioma in early stages.

Chronic Pain
Pain that may range from mild to severe and persists or progresses over a long period of time.
Chrysotile
The most common type of asbestos, it is also known as "white asbestos," which comprises approximately 90%-95% of all asbestos in the United States. It is made up of minerals that crystallize in the "serpentine" pattern, which means its crystals are formed in sheets. Chrysotile has been linked with all asbestos-related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestos fibers are extremely durable and are heat and fire resistant. Asbestos also serves as a strong binder for other materials. Because of these properties, asbestos was used in over 3000 different products in a variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer products. Because of their size and shape, asbestos fibers can easily become airborne and can remain in the air for long periods of time. Once asbestos settles, it can be redistributed into the air easily through a process called re-entrainment. Unfortunately, once asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they tend to remain in the body for many years.
Chrysotile Peritoneal Mesothelioma
An asbestos-related cancer that attacks the lining of the abdominal cavity. Chrysotile causes peritoneal mesothelioma when the small fibers are inhaled or swallowed and become lodged in the tissue. Chrysotile linked peritoneal mesothelioma has a long latency period, often diagnosed more than 40 years after exposure.
Cisplatin
An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called platinum compounds. Cisplatin is used in the treatment of a wide range of malignancies, including advanced cancer of the ovary, testis, and bladder. Cisplatin is given intravenously. Its full chemical name is cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum.
