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.

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






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






28. 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






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






30. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






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






32. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






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

35. Cancer stays in one place






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






37. 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
