Italian term or phrase: metabolismo
residua (sic.) aumentato metabolismo in corrispondenza del noto addensamento a base pleurica al segmento dorsale del LSD (2.2 vs 11).
Mentre appaiono al momento privi di attività i noduli polmonari omo e controlaterali e le lesioni ossee (L4 L5 emibacino sinistra e testa femorale sinistra).

Cosa si intende per metabolismo in questo caso? e increased metabolism potrebbe andare bene?

Grazie!

metabolism
Explanation:
"increased metabolism" is fine.
"Cancer is a disease at the cellular level involving heritable disorders in cellular control mechanism. Cancer cells also need to adapt their metabolism to survive and multiply under the metabolically compromised conditions provided by the tumor microenvironment. Tumor cells alter their metabolism to maintain unregulated cellular proliferation and survival, but this transformation leaves them reliant on constant supply of nutrients and energy. They alter their metabolism to support their rapid proliferation and expansion across the body."

"FDG preferentially accumulates in areas with increased metabolism, such as tumours, in which the rate of uptake is six to seven times higher than normal tissue, and sites of infection where the metabolic rate of glucose is elevated in activated inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils."
