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. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






2. Surgery - Radiation - Chemotherapy - Biotherapy - Hormonal therapy






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






4. Most common form - Linear accelerator generates ionizing radiation

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






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






10. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






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






13. Cells are immature and primitive - Origin of cells difficult to determine






14. The lymphoma has advanced beyond the lymph nodes and spleen and has spread to one or more organs such as bone - bone marrow skin or liver.






15. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






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






17. 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






18. Most common cancer in American women -Second leading cause of cancer deaths in America -Bracogene defect






19. To prevent future development in high risk areas






20. Extent of disease






21. Major cause is smoking






22. Surgery - Radiation - Chemotherapy - Biotherapy - Hormonal therapy






23. 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






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






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






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






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






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

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






33. Limit Growth






34. Education related to treatment & side effects -Ongoing skin assessment-Management of skin irritations -Assessment for fatigue- most common and disabling side effect -Education about fatigue management -rest periods-mild exercise -Emotional support du






35. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-> Cervical cancer Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-> Liver cancer HIV->Capoze's sarcomaEbstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-> Perkins (rare) lymphoma






36. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






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






38. The cancer is found only in a single lymph node region or one organ or area outside the lymph node






39. The ER and PR status of the tumor -The measures of proliferative capacity of the tumor -Her2/neu gene amplification.






40. 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






41. Major cause is smoking

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






44. 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






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






46. ~1 -368 -030 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed this year~ 563 -650 Americans are expected to die of cancer this year ~ 9.6 million Americans with a history of cancer are alive today
