Most people with IBD take a maintenance drug to help keep symptoms in check, even when the IBD is quiescent. Maintenance drugs will be continued during a flare-up, and other drugs, diet modifications, or more treatments may be prescribed by a gastroenterologist to bring the disease back under control.
Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. It lies just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine).
A neoplasm can be benign, potentially malignant (pre-cancer), or malignant (cancer). 1  Benign tumors include uterine fibroids and melanocytic nevi (skin moles). 2  They are circumscribed and localized and do not transform into cancer.3  Potentially-malignant neoplasms include carcinoma in situ. Secondary neoplasm refers to any of a class of cancerous tumor that is either a metastatic offshoot of a primary tumor, or an apparently unrelated tumor that increases in frequency following certain cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
