| Comments: | Noticed that "testicular tumor" and "testicular cancer"(精巣腫瘍) were glossed on the same term. Apparently this is correct. The Japanese wikipedia cross-reference for "Cancer" is this term. If you search 癌 in wikipedia, you'll get redirected to an article under 精巣腫瘍. Makes sense with 腫瘍学 = oncology. Flagged as [med] due to the massive prevalence of がん, but maybe this is inappropriate? Certainly it's a term I would expect Japanese people to know as well as we know "malignant tumor". (plenty of references on twitter). Lots of tumor and gastrointestinal related issues (search kanji with 腫, for example) are not currently marked [med]. Maybe they should be? |
