Przerzutami

Przerzutami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun przerzut, used in medical language to refer to metastases, i.e., secondary tumor deposits formed when malignant cells spread from a primary tumor to distant sites. The term appears in clinical notes, radiology reports, and pathology findings, for example in phrases such as przerzutami do wątroby or przerzutami do mózgu.

In oncology, przerzutami describe the dissemination of cancer cells via lymphatic vessels or the bloodstream to distant organs. Metastatic spread results in new tumor foci that are separate from the original tumor and often influences prognosis and treatment decisions. The presence of przerzutami is a central factor in cancer staging, typically indicating more advanced disease.

Diagnosis of metastatic involvement relies on imaging methods such as CT, MRI, and PET-CT, sometimes complemented by biopsy to confirm the origin of metastatic lesions. Assessing the locations and extent of przerzutami guides treatment planning, which may include systemic therapies (chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapies) as well as local approaches (surgery or radiotherapy) for specific metastatic sites.

Prognosis varies widely depending on cancer type, number and location of metastases, and patient health. While przerzutami is a grammatical form rather than a disease, its occurrence signals metastatic involvement that commonly shapes clinical management and outlook.

Etymology and usage: przerzut means metastasis, and przerzutami is the instrumental plural form used with prepositions to indicate metastatic involvement. In medical Polish, both przerzuty and przerzutami appear, depending on grammatical construction.
