Subject: okay need help & explanation of cancer abbrevs. pls. sm
I rarely have to type cancer info, and when I do I do remember to subscript certain numbers....but I am running into them more often and I want to understand and know what I am typing instead of just assuming it looks right. Can you please type the below findings correctly for me to have as a reference...and also if anyone has a link or can copy and past definitions for each category so I know what I'm talking about that would be awesome. Thanks!

Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.

I think I use the following site more than anything else. It's a great all-around site for all things medical, but the abbreviation look-up is awesome! You can also look up abbrevs by definition. It also has a medical dictionary, ICD9 code search, Rx look-up, US Rx drug spelling, skin conditions, hospitals worldwide, medical associations, and more!

Do you have to follow AAMT dangerous abbrevs list?

We have to change 'cc' to 'mL' in nearly every instance now :( because that's listed on the AAMT Dangerous Abbreviations list. Were you able to keep it '2 cc' as above?
Just curious whether that's becoming the standard. (seems to me that most of those 'dangerous abbreviations' would only cause confusion if they were written, not when typed/transcribed...)
