Arabic term

 علاج نظامي

Homework / test Arabic to English Medical Medical (general) Breast cancer brochure
هناك نوعان من العلاج لسرطان الثدي  علاج موضعي وعلاج نظامي

The first one is localized, I assume (and they go on to talk about surgery, chemo, radiation etc.), but the second they don't really discuss in this segment which I received. What do we think - "comprehensive treatment"?

Thank you, and wishing everyone Good Health!!

Discussion

Ahmad Hamdy Jul 15, 2011:
Here we have 2 types of treatment.. one is local (rather than localized): Treatment of the affected part and another is systemic: treatment of the body systems affected by this disease.

To Mrs. Abed: I am afraid that the term you suggested doesn't fit in the context after all and is not compatible with the medical sense in this specific situation. As for the link you suggested, it's totally non relevant to this specific term with all due respect
