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. 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






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






3. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated

9. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






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






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






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






13. 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)






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






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






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






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






18. 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)






19. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






20. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






22. Begin in the cells of the immune system






23. 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)






24. What cell is is? - How agressive?






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






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






27. 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






28. A permanent change in a DNA nucleotide sequence can be spontaneously or caused by mutagens






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






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






31. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






33. Spread of cancer from an initial site -Includes: angiogenesis - Invasion - Transport - Immunogenicity - arrest - Establishment of a secondary tumor






34. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






35. 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)






36. A permanent change in a DNA nucleotide sequence can be spontaneously or caused by mutagens






37. 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.






38. 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






39. 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






40. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






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






42. Limit Growth






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






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






45. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






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






47. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






48. Extent of disease






49. Mimic body's immune system






50. 66%
