Estadiohis tilde, is the correct term to refer to to a particular stage or period in the evolution of a disease, no stadium.
However, in the press, especially in some specialized media, there are phrases that use the form with a graphic accent in the i: “More and more cases of breast cancer in young women are detected in the first stage” or “In this stage of life, the brain begins to establish its own circuits.”
In it Dictionary of medical termsof the Royal National Academy of Medicine of Spain, specifies that estadio it is ‘a certain stage or period of a process such as the evolution of a disease or the development or growth of an organism, as well as the degree of extension of some diseases, such as cancer’, and it is clarified that the accentuation with hiatus of this word (stadium) is frequent, especially in oncology, but inadequate.
Therefore, in the examples above, it would have been appropriate to write “More and more cases of breast cancer in young women are detected at the first stage” and “At that stage in life, the brain begins to establish its own circuits.” .
Estadio it also means ‘stage or phase of a process’, in general, and ‘enclosure with stands for spectators, intended for sports competitions’, senses for which the use of the form with tilde is not correct either. stadiumas the Panhispanic dictionary of doubts.
