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. What cell is is? - How agressive?






2. -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






3. 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






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






5. Limit Growth

12. Immediate post-Op assessments and cares (per hospital policy) -Pain management -Monitor for complications (e.g. infection) -Reinforce post-op self-cares (tubes - site - etc)-Assess psychosocial response -Assess for body image fears






13. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






14. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






15. Mimic body's immune system






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






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


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






19. Immediate post-Op assessments and cares (per hospital policy) -Pain management -Monitor for complications (e.g. infection) -Reinforce post-op self-cares (tubes - site - etc)-Assess psychosocial response -Assess for body image fears






20. 1.Breast 2.Prostate 3.Lung 4.Colon 5.UNK PRIM 6.Stomach 7.Rectum 8.pancreas 9.Bladder 10.Lymphoma 11.All other






21. Extent of disease






22. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






23. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






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






25. 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






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






27. 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.






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






29. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






30. Extent of disease






31. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






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






33. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






34. Begin in the cells of the immune system






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






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






38. 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






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






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






41. Mimic body's immune system






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






43. Brachytherapy -Sources are placed directly into tumor or in close proximity (e.g. lung - cervical - prostate)






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






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






46. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension
