C53

C53 is an alphanumeric designation used in different systems to identify distinct items, codes, or models rather than a single universal object. The meaning of C53 varies by context and field.

In medicine, C53 is the ICD-10-CM code for malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri. This designation is used in medical records and coding to categorize cervical cancer, with subcategories that specify particular sites or histologies within the cervix.

In aviation, C-53 Skytrooper refers to a U.S. military transport variant of the Douglas DC-3. Operated by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, the C-53 designation was part of the military naming system that assigned C- numbers to cargo and troop transport aircraft derived from civilian designs.

Outside of medicine and aviation, C53 may appear in various catalogs, product model numbers, or classification schemes. However, there is no single, widely recognized meaning of C53 beyond these specific contexts, and its interpretation depends entirely on the surrounding domain and documentation.
