Part five: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, oral cavity and pharynx, and ovary

Baylor University, School of Nursing, Dallas, TX

This is the fifth of a six-part series on metastatic spread and natural history of 18 common tumors. Part 1 summarized symptom/problem anticipation, cancer metastasis, and the 18 tumors that each cause more than 6000 deaths/year in the United States. Bladder and brain cancer were discussed, with information given on tumor types, metastatic spread and invasion, and common symptoms. Parts two, three, and four charted the natural histories, problems, and assessment parameters of advanced cancers of the breast, colon and rectum, esophagus, kidney, liver, and lung; and leukemia, melanoma, and multiple myeloma. Part five provides corresponding information on non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and cancers of the oral cavity (and pharynx) and ovary. Each of these cancers is presented separately, with information given on mortality rates, the most common tumor types, sites of metastases, common problems, and common oncologic emergencies. Sites of spread, resulting problems (including site-specific symptoms), and assessment parameters are presented as tables. Material is presented so that clinicians will be able to anticipate the spread of these cancers and can thus identify problems early in their development so that the problems are more easily managed.
