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.

19. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






20. 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.






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






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






23. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






24. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






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






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