What do you call that inflatable toy which comes back after you punch it?

In the US, they're called bop bags. Much less inventive and evocative than the Brazilian name.  :)

I need help with wording. :)

Does 'patients with diagnoses bordering on malignancy' make sense? The idea is patients diagnosed with cancer stages which are advanced but which have not yet undergone metastases.

l think I'd word it "patients with malignant cancer that has not yet metastasised"
or "patients with non-metastastic malingnant cancer"
or indeed "patients with non-metastastic malingnancy"

I was thinking "pre-metastatic" but I looked at terminology and usage, and it appears that nonmetastatic, as suggested by Bluenose is the appropriate term.  :)
