| Colorectaladenocarcinoma | A malignant tumor usually arising from the epithelium lining the large intestinal mucosa. Colon carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in both males and females, and is especially common in North America and Europe. Grossly, most colon carcinomas are polypoid or ulcerating lesions. Microscopically, adenocarcinoma is the most frequently seen morphologic subtype. Prognosis depends on the stage of the disease (depth of invasion, metastasis to regional/distal lymph nodes or other anatomic sites). -- 2004|An adenocarcinoma arising from the colon. It is more frequently seen in populations with a Western type diet and in patients with a history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Signs and symptoms include intestinal bleeding, anemia, and change in bowel habits. According to the degree of cellular differentiation, colonic adenocarcinomas are divided into well differentiated, moderately, and poorly differentiated. Morphologic variants include the mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet-ring adenocarcinoma. Lymphatic or hematogenous spread can occur early in the process and lead to systemic disease.|Tumors or cancer of the COLON or the RECTUM or both. Risk factors for colorectal cancer include chronic ULCERATIVE COLITIS; FAMILIAL POLYPOSIS COLI; exposure to ASBESTOS; and irradiation of the CERVIX UTERI. |

| Hypothalamus | The ventral part of the diencephalon that forms the floor and part of the lateral wall of the third ventricle. Anatomically, it includes the preoptic area, optic tract, optic chiasm, mammillary bodies, tuber cinereum, infundibulum, and neurohypophysis, but for physiological purposes the neurohypophysis is considered a distinct structure. The hypothalamus may be divided into five regions or areas (area hypothalamica rostralis, area hypothalamica dorsalis, area hypothalamica intermedia, area hypothalamica lateralis and area hypothalamica posterior) or into three longitudinal zones (periventricular zone, medial zone, and lateral zone). The hypothalamic nuclei constitute that part of the corticodiencephalic mechanism that activates, controls and integrates the peripheral autonomic mechanisms, endocrine activity, and many somatic functions, e.g., a general regulation of water balance, body temperature, sleep, and food intake, and the development of secondary sex characteristics. The hypothalamus secretes vasopressin and oxytocin, which are stored in the pituitary, as well as many releasing factors (hypophysiotropic hormones), by means of which it exerts control over functions of the adenohypophysis. |
