Hello,

a Serbian doctor has written the following on a medical certificate. 'Meta'

appears to be word on its own, and not the prefeix 'meta-'.

META IN HEPATE

META PULMONUM

I can only find 'mark' or 'limit' for meta. I can't see the connection with the

liver and the lungs.

The only wider context I can give is the following which appears on the

certificate:

ADENOCARCINOMA VESICAE FELLAE [---- of the gall bladder]

META IN HEPATE

META PULMONUM

ANGINA PECTORIS

Yours meta-challenged,

and wishing all a happy Easter!

One more vote for metastasis from S.P. Djordjevic, author of a

French-English Dictionary of Medicine and a soon to be published

Serbian and Croatian into English medical dictionary:

" FROM THE CONTEXT OF THE DX, I'D SAY THAT META MEANS METASTASIS

(M/MET/metas). DEFINITELY. THAT IS, THE CANCER HAS SPREAD FROM THE

GALLBLADDER INTO THE LIVER AND LUNGS. "

And now, a shameless plug: Feel free to contact me if you would like

more information about the Serbian and Croatian into English medical

dictionary. It's not finished yet, but we need to start gauging

interest in order to estimate a print run for later this year.
