Subsite

Subsite is a term used in various fields, including medicine, computer science, and web development. In the context of medicine, a subsite refers to a specific area within a larger anatomical site. For example, the colon has several subsites, including the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.

Medical Subsites[edit | edit source]

In the field of oncology, the term subsite is often used to describe the specific location of a tumor within an organ or tissue. This is important for diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis. For example, a tumor located in the upper lobe of the lung would be described as a "lung upper lobe subsite."

Subsites are also used in the classification of cancers. The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) includes codes for different subsites of each organ. For example, the code C50.1 refers to the central portion of the breast, while C50.2 refers to the upper-inner quadrant, a subsite of the breast.

Web Development Subsites[edit | edit source]

In web development, a subsite is a secondary website that is part of a larger, primary website. Subsites often have their own unique content and design, but are connected to the main site through hyperlinks or a shared domain name. For example, a university might have a main website for general information, and subsites for each of its departments.

Computer Science Subsites[edit | edit source]

In computer science, a subsite can refer to a subset of a larger network or system. This can be a physical subsite, such as a specific server in a data center, or a virtual subsite, such as a partition of a hard drive.
