Myöhäisvaiheessa

Myöhäisvaiheessa is a Finnish expression that translates roughly as "in the late phase" or "in the late stage." It is formed by combining the adjective myöhäinen (late) with vaihe (phase) and the inessive suffix -ssa, indicating location: "in the late phase."

Used primarily in medical contexts to describe diseases or conditions that have progressed to a late stage, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, or chronic illnesses. It can also apply more broadly to the final phases of processes, projects, or events, signaling a limited amount of remaining time or scope.

Grammatically, myöhäisvaiheessa is an inessive form, used to denote that something is located in the late phase. Examples include: Potilas on myöhäisvaiheessa. The project is in the late stage can be rendered as Hanke on myöhäisvaiheessa in appropriate contexts.

See also: vaihe (phase), myöhäisvaihe (late stage) as a general concept, and related terms such as alkuvaihe (early stage) and keskivaihe (mid-stage). These terms are commonly used in healthcare, research, and project management to describe stages of development or progression.
