Lint: metastases-to-the-ovary

En Dash
error

"Secondary tumours of the ovary account for 1025% of all ovarian malignancies 14. The relative frequency of primary sources depends on the population studied and the study methodology, e.g. surgical versus autopsy series. Gastric cancer incidence is high in Japan and Korea, whereas colorectal and endometrial cancers are more common in Western countries."

Heterogeneous Spelling
warning

"T2: heterogenous signal of the solid component with hyperintensity of the cystic component"

Line 45:29 · Radiopaedia advises the '-eous' form: 'heterogeneous' rather than 'heterogenous'.
There Is
suggestion

"There is often a known primary at presentation. Patients may present with abdominal symptoms such as pain or palpable pelvic mass. Hormonal overactivity can also be occasionally seen due to hyperplasia of ovarian stroma."

Line 6:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

"They usually spread by a haematogenous route, lymphatic route, or by direct spread. There are usually surface deposits of tumours with invasion of the stroma."

Line 9:88 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"endometrium — the most common gynaecological primary; frequently the most common overall in Western surgical series"

Line 13:67 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"contralateral ovary — direct or transcoelomic spread; often difficult to differentiate metastasis from synchronous primary"

Line 14:67 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"cervix — less common but well-documented; often squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma"
