Spanish term

MP

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) MRI report
This comes at the beginning of an MRI report for a patient hospitalized for control of back pain, with lung cancer that has metastasized to the liver and possibly the spine. The report says:

RM Columna dorso-lumbar
MP: Adenocarcinoma de pulmon en tratamiento, con lesión en L3 a descartar tumor.

I can't figure out this MP, and not one of the 57 entries in Cosnautas seems to fit. I was thinking this is possibly "reason for examination" -- which would be "motivo de ..." but then I can't think what the 'P' might be.

Please help me figure out what this means in this MRI context.

@Marie Wilson If you like, you can post this as an answer and then I'll close the question.
Joseph Tein (asker) Jul 16, 2017:
Thanks ... for the suggestions. Motivo de la prueba makes most sense in the context and given where it comes in the report, although I don't find anything online that contains "motivo de la prueba" + "MP" together.

"Metastatic potential" makes no sense here.
Leda Roche Jul 16, 2017:
"Motivo de la prueba" makes sense, also "Motivo Principal". I do not think the M is Metastatic.
Rachel Fell Jul 16, 2017:
I think " motivo de la prueba" too - http://www.onmeda.es/consulta_medica/

perhaps it stands for Metastatic Potential

Marie Yes, that makes sense :-)
Marie Wilson Jul 16, 2017:
Following on from your idea, could it be "motivo de la prueba"?
