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. 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)






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






3. 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.






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






5. 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)






6. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






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

9. Begin in the cells of the immune system






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






11. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






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






13. 66%






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






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






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






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






18. 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






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






20. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






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






22. ~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






23. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






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






25. 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






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






27. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






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






29. -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






30. 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






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






32. Extent of disease






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






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






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






36. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






37. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






38. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






39. Major cause is smoking






40. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






41. 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)






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






43. 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)






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






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