Meanings
adjectiveappendixless (not comparable)
- not comparableWithout an appendix (bodily organ).
Screening women for prostate cancer, for example, would not make sense. Nor would an appendicitis screening for someone who has already had their appendix removed. There's exactly a zero percent chance than an appendix-less individual could develop an appendix-specific disease.
2013 January 7, Sarah Kliff, “‘It’s tough to get cervical cancer without a cervix.’”, in The Washington Post
