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. Most common form - Linear accelerator generates ionizing radiation

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






4. Begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs






5. A group of more than 200 diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and unregulated growth of cells -caused by both external and internal factors -second leading cause of death in U.S.






6. To prevent future development in high risk areas






7. Strictly regulated -Predetermined to differentiate into specific cell type -Controlled cell death (apoptosis) & proliferation -Contact inhibition -Cell surface adherence-Inability to wander






8. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow

13. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






14. Relieve pain - Relieve obstruction






15. Routine mammography-Digital mammography -Clinical breast examination -Breast self examination






16. What cell is is? - How agressive?






17. Mimic body's immune system






18. 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






19. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






20. Extent of disease






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

24. Malignant transformation causing mutation of DNA Can be caused by: -Inherited mutation during DNA replication -Exposure to chemical - radiation - or virus (Carcinogens) -Cancer related genes






25. -Defect in differentiation-Secrete enzyme to dissolve binding protein fibronectin- no cell surface adherence -Loss of ability to stop dividing- uncontrolled proliferation-Doubling time (exponential growth)-Loss of cell borders -ability to form new bl






26. Assist with decision making (teaching) -Assess psychosocial status & needs -Assess understanding of intervention -Reinforce info. about procedure - complications. - hospital procedures - & follow-up management -Educate regarding post-op self cares






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






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






29. Distinguishing the mutant cell (appearance & differentiation) aka histology






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

31. Major cause is smoking






32. 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






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






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






35. The use of cytotoxic drugs to destroy cancer cells -Multi-agent regimens superior to single drug administration -Can be used pre-op -Mainstay of therapy






36. 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)






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






38. 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)






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