Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: alzheimérologie
Does anyone know if the word "alzheimerology" (like "cancerology") is a common expression in the medical world? I'm somewhat skeptical because the texts in which I've found it used seem to be translations.
Thanks in advance!

Alzheimerology (understandable but NOT official)


Explanation:
Yes it exists but it is like in French
"It is this conceptual shift that is the source of the development of modern “ Alzheimerology,” which began in the 1960s"

In an hospital the department taking in charge Alzheimer patients is Neurology. Alzheimmerology is being worded like a specialty but does not belong to the neurology subspecialties (that is to say there is no OFFICIAL certification in Alzheimmerology YET)
See specialties and subspecialties chart of the American board of medical specialties
http://www.abms.org/who_we_help/physicians/specialties.aspx

BUT I would say that it is a term that is 100% understandable (but would pretty much irritate purists)

Depending 100% on which type of "paper" you are translating, you can choose to use it or not....
I.e: I think I would surely not use it on a clinical trial publication, but I would use it in a press article (after agreement of the client).
But that's only my opinion.

My source? My own certification in Clinical Research....

Ohhhhh, then it COULD BE that your client deliberately used the term in French to avoid the huuuuuge amount of emails he would have received from purists if he has written " Alzheimerology"....

Notes to answerer
Asker: The English version of the clien'ts website uses "Alzheimerologie", Ex: A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO PROGRESS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH IN ALZHEIMEROLOGIE. I'm just not sure if using a term that is understandable but not necessarily commonly used is the best choice here.

Asker: Obviously, I'm supposed to correct the above sentence, as "alzheimerologie" isn't English at all...

Asker: Thanks! I saw this article as well, but I just wanted to make sure that it's not just a poor translation, or a word that a few people use, but isn't commonly used.
