German term
geht an
I do not understand exactly what is meant by "geht an" in:
"Tumor geht an den Oberlappenbronchus, und befaellt breit den Unterlappen."
Context: Pt. with inoperable right lung cancer (centrally located).
Does "geht an" mean that the tumor is adjacent to/touching the upper lobe bronchus, or that it is invading it /extending into it? Or sth else altogether (originating from the bronchus??)?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

If there are no others places it originates from I would use “originate...and extends to”
The tumor originates in the right lung.
