 Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer with Occult Primar - National Cancer Institute
Metastatic squamous neck cancer with occult primary is a disease in which squamous cell cancer spreads to lymph nodes in the neck and it is not known where the cancer first formed in the body.
Squamous cells are thin, flat cells found in tissues that form the surface of the skin and the lining of body cavities such as the mouth, hollow organs such as the uterus and blood vessels, and the lining of the respiratory (breathing) and digestive tracts.
The doctor will try to find the primary tumor (the cancer that first formed in the body), because treatment for metastatic cancer is the same as treatment for the primary tumor.

When the young boy Timothy Hunter, destined to become the world's greatest sorcerer, was to be introduced to magic, the Phantom Stranger enlisted the help of Occult, John Constantine and Mister E.

Among Occult’s (and Rose's) closest associates are their female office assistant, Marly, Zator of the Seven, and the Phantom Stranger, a being that normally makes few friends.
The Seven gave Doctor Occult his mystic symbol, resembling a cross in a circle, that he uses to repel and exorcise various supernatural beings and spells, and even certain form of natural energy.

 Fecal Occult Blood Test
When doctors test for fecal occult blood, they are testing for the presence of microscopic or invisible blood in the stool, or feces.
Fecal occult blood can be a sign of a problem in your digestive system, such as a growth, or polyp, or cancer in the colon or rectum.
Your doctor will have to determine the source of the bleeding, either by doing a colonoscopy or by doing an examination to determine if the bleeding is coming from the stomach or small intestine.

This is a home-use test kit to measure the presence of hidden (occult) blood in your stool (feces).

Some doctors suggest that you start testing at age 40, if your family is thought to be at increased risk.

 Screening for gastrointestinal cancer
The simplest test is faecal occult blood screening (checking for blood in the faeces that is not visible) although this involves collecting faeces, which is unpleasant.
A positive faecal occult blood test indicates approximately a 10 per cent chance of cancer or a 34 per cent chance of a polyp, but the test will be negative in up to 50 per cent of cancers (this figure falls to about 30 per cent if the test is repeated on three consecutive days).
Trials are currently in progress in the UK to further study the effectiveness of faecal occult blood screening and also to assess flexible sigmoidoscopy (examination of the final 40cm or so of the bowel, where most colorectal cancer occurs, with a bendy telescope passed into the rectum).

 Fecal Occult Blood Tests - Digestion and digestive-related information on MedicineNet.com
Fecal occult blood tests are special chemical tests performed on the stool samples to detect the presence of "occult blood." These tests are usually begun at age 40 and then performed annually, accompanied by a digital rectal examination by a doctor.
Fecal occult blood tests are based on the observation that slow bleeding from colon polyps or cancers can cause chronic blood loss from the colon (sometimes causing iron deficiency anemia).
If no colon abnormalities are found in an individual whose stool is positive for occult blood, considerations are then given to examining the stomach and the small intestines for sources of blood loss.

Screening for these problems in a clinic or doctor's office is a crucial part of health care.

The doctor looks smart when the test reveals a condition that he or she may have been suspecting, but whether or not this occurs, all bases are covered.

There was room for a lot, because each of them occupied a page or less, with stories continued from one issue to the next just as they were in a newspaper's Sunday funnies section, which the whole package was designed to resemble (except for the interiors being printed in fl and white).
Occult was there in a minor way, as were hundreds of other virtually forgotten characters from the distant past.
At the same time, he was doing a series of appearances with The All-Star Squadron, which stretched its mission a little (it featured every superhero from the 1940s, not '30s) to include him.

 The Magic of Doctor Who
In that case the “fl magic” rituals used to awaken the devil were revealed, by the Doctor, to be nothing more than rituals evoking an emotional response from those taking part, which in turn created psyonic energy and triggered the alien’s technology to wake him from cryogenic stasis.
However, the Doctor arrived and soon exposed the demons for the alien parasite the Fendahl, who were using the pentagram to focus artron energy to help them escape their time-looped planet.
Every time there has been a threat from the occult, the Doctor has exposed it for the alien menace it really is, surely disproving the existence of the occult.
