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.

13. Major cause is smoking






14. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






15. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






16. The cancer is found in two or more lymph node regions on one side of the diaphram






17. 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)






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






19. Cancer stays in one place






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






21. Begin in the cells of the immune system






22. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






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






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






25. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






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






27. Used in Prevention - determine the diagnostic and treatment plan (clinical staging) - Cure and or control of cancer - Supportive care - Rehabilitation - Palliation of symptoms - Diagnosis (biopsy)






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






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






30. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






31. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






32. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






33. Cancer cells that go to other parts of the body






34. Preoperative with or without chemotherapy - Goal to shrink tumor before surgery






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






36. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






37. Begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord






38. Begin in the cells of the immune system






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

48. To prevent future development in high risk areas






49. -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






50. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes
