nyíltsejt

Nyíltsejt is a Hungarian term that translates to "open cell" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of cancer biology to describe a particular type of tumor growth. In a nyíltsejt tumor, the cancer cells are not contained within a well-defined structure but rather infiltrate and spread diffusely throughout the surrounding tissues. This contrasts with a "closed cell" or well-encapsulated tumor, which is often easier to surgically remove and may have a slower rate of metastasis.

The presence of nyíltsejt growth can indicate a more aggressive form of cancer, as the lack of containment allows for easier invasion of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and adjacent organs. This can lead to earlier and more widespread metastasis, making treatment more challenging. Histological examination of biopsy samples is typically used to determine whether a tumor exhibits nyíltsejt characteristics. Medical professionals consider this feature when devising treatment strategies, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies, in addition to surgical intervention. Understanding the growth pattern of a tumor, whether it is nyíltsejt or otherwise, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective patient management.
