Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 12. What is a surface lump? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 13. What is a surface lump? A surface lump is a mass or bukol that is located on the surface of the body, one that can be touched, palpated and evaluated by the examining fingers at least if not seen by the naked eyes. Some surface lumps can be seen and touched. Some surface lumps cannot be seen but can be touched or palpated. Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 14. What is a surface lump? Examples of surface lumps: • Lumps on the skin and soft tissues • Lumps on the scalp, face and mouth • Lumps on the thyroid gland and neck • Lumps on the wall of the trunk and abdomen • Lumps on the extremities • Lumps on the anus • Lumps on the breasts Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps

- 23. l How common is a surface lump? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 24. pa How common is a surface lump? Common to the point of very common! Because all of these parts of the human body can give rise to a surface lump. • skin and soft tissues • scalp, face and mouth • thyroid gland and neck • wall of the trunk and abdomen • extremities • anus • breasts Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 25. l What is the importance of knowing how to manage a surface lump? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 26. l What is the importance of knowing how to manage a surface lump? Not only are surface lumps being very common. They cause instant anxiety once a surface lump is discovered. First reaction is usually, “Oh no, baka I have cancer na.” For all surface lumps, the first question to answer is what is it. While trying to get the diagnosis, one cannot help but think (and worry) that all surface lumps have the possibility of being cancer. Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps To allay snd shorten the instant anxiety, because the surface lumps may not be cancer afterall, all laypeople should be empowered to know the cues for non-cancers beside knowing the cues for cancer.

Main reason for this ROJoson PEP Talk.
- 28. u What is a clinical diagnostic algorithm? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 29. s What is a clinical diagnostic algorithm? Because a surface lump can be cancer or not cancer, a layperson should be empowered to know the cues for cancer and not cancer based on looking and palpating. The clinical diagnostic algorithm will guide the laypeople on how to recognize cancer / not cancer in surface lumps, just based on looking and palpating (CLINICAL). Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps Clinical diagnostic algorithm of surface lumps is the process of making a diagnosis based mainly on recognition of patterns (or cues) for cancer and not cancer.
- 30. um What is the importance of knowing the clinical diagnostic algorithm of surface lumps? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 31. What is the importance of knowing the clinical diagnostic algorithm of surface lumps? So that • fear can be allayed as soon as possible once a surface lump appears or develops (if laypeople know the cues for cancer and not cancer. • laypeople knows when to consult a physician. • early consult with a physician may be promoted. • early diagnosis and treatment may be promoted. Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 32. What are the clinical diagnostic algorithms of common surface lumps? Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 33. What are the clinical diagnostic algorithms of common surface lumps? First review or know the definition of a surface lump: A surface lump is a mass or bukol that is located on the surface of the body, one that can be touched, palpated and evaluated by the examining fingers at least if not seen by the naked eyes. Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps
- 34. What are the clinical diagnostic algorithms of common surface lumps? Foremost question to answer: based on palpation by the examining fingers of the person himself / herself, is there a surface lump or not? Remember this definition: A surface lump is a mass or bukol that is located on the surface of the body, one that can be touched, palpated and evaluated by the examining fingers at least if not seen by the naked eyes. Clinical Diagnostic Algorithm for Common Surface Lumps Surface lumps are not induration or thickening and are not enlargement. Surface lumps are masses or bukol, have 3 dimensional configuration when palpated. May be round or oval.
