DTF in medical terms usually stands for Desmoid-type fibromatosis. Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare, non-cancerous tumor that grows in connective tissue, typically in the abdomen, chest, and extremities. It is characterized by slow, aggressive growth and can cause pain, discomfort, and functional limitations.
There are several other interpretations of "DTF" in medical contexts, such as:
- DoD PHA (Department of Defense Physical Health Assessment): A tool used to evaluate and document the health status of service members.
- MTF/DTF (Military Treatment Facility / Dental Treatment Facility): These are the healthcare facilities for military personnel.
- DTF (Dental Treatment Facility): A facility within the military healthcare system specifically providing dental services.
