Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : health-sciences
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Cancer stays in one place






2. Stage 1: Early disease - Stage 2: Locally advanced disease - Stage 3: Advanced disease - Stage 4: widespread disease

3. Major cause is smoking






4. Primary Therapy -Neoadjuvant -Adjuvant (with something) -Prophylaxis -Disease Control -Palliation






5. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






6. Exposure->mutation - Initiation - Promotion - Progression & metastasis






7. Breast cancer

8. Tobacco -1/3 of all new cases of cancer are related to nutrition - physical inactivity and obesity -Radiation (~1 billion new cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer will be diagnosed this year)






9. Intravenous -Intraarterial -Intrapeitoneal -Intrathecal:into spinal canal -Intravesical Bladder -Oral






10. Fibrin mesh work protection from host's immune cells






11. Burkitt's Lymphoma -Hodgkin's Lymphoma -Testicular cancer






12. Secondary effect of an agent -alone may not be able to induce malignancy -some initiators may act as own promoters (cigarette tars) -activities of promoters is reversible






13. Depending upon site -skin: dry - itchy - red and irritated - desquamation (skin peeling) -Heart -Bowel & bladder -skin erythema -hyper pigmentation -Itching -Fatigue -Dry or moist desquamation -Edema -Loss of sensation -Pain






14. Final stage -Increased growth rate of tumor -Increased invasiveness -Detectable mass= 1 cm and 1 billion cells






15. Exposure->mutation - Initiation - Promotion - Progression & metastasis






16. High cost sharing -Caps on benefits -Life time maximums -High health care costs if too sick to work -Waiting periods -Strict restrictions on eligibility -Premiums too expensive to afford. Uninsured and COBRA (makes your insurance go up)






17. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






18. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






19. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






20. Interluken vaccines-> pumping body full of what you normally produce -When stopping this therapy monitor for normal body functioning and antibiotics to resume could take some time






21. Clinical breast exam -Diagnostic mammography -Ultrasound -Biopsy -MRI -PET (look @ metastatic pattern)=






22. Mimic body's immune system






23. Begin in the cells of the immune system






24. What cell is is? - How agressive?






25. Lung - Lyrnyx - Esophagus - pancreas - mouth - stomach - leukemia - bladder - kidney - cervix






26. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






27. Grade 1-4 - grade by cell when we can't tell where its from






28. Appearance & degree of differentiation - Grading-> GX-G4






29. Given at the same time b/c different mechanisms of action that lower the amount of drugs given-> decrease toxicity






30. Advanced age -Benign proliferate disease -Reproductive risk factors -Environmental (radiation & pestisides) -Hormonal factors (oral contraceptives)-Energy expenditure (weight gain - lack of physical activity)-Dietary risk factor: high fat intake & a






31. Post surgery or chemotherapy - Goal to reduce risk of local recurrence






32. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






33. Tobacco -1/3 of all new cases of cancer are related to nutrition - physical inactivity and obesity -Radiation (~1 billion new cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer will be diagnosed this year)






34. Code for proteins to turn off cell growth - loss of function - Recessive






35. Stage 1: Early disease - Stage 2: Locally advanced disease - Stage 3: Advanced disease - Stage 4: widespread disease

36. Medication that caused birth defects by cutting off blood supply - now trying to use it to cut off angiogenesis






37. Spread of cancer to other organs. Eg:- in colon ->muscularis-> into ovaries






38. Brachytherapy -Sources are placed directly into tumor or in close proximity (e.g. lung - cervical - prostate)






39. The disease involves lymph nodes both above & below the diaphragm.






40. Inappropriately active versions of proto-oncogens (normal genes before mutation) code for proteins that induce malignant growth by turning on cell division (growth factors)






41. What cell is is? - How agressive?






42. Intravenous -Intraarterial -Intrapeitoneal -Intrathecal:into spinal canal -Intravesical Bladder -Oral






43. To prevent future development in high risk areas






44. Based on spread of disease staging -Tumor Node Metastasis classification system -Stage 0-4






45. The age & menopausal status of patient -The stage of the disease






46. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






47. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






48. Inappropriately active versions of proto-oncogens (normal genes before mutation) code for proteins that induce malignant growth by turning on cell division (growth factors)
