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. Cancer stays in one place






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






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






4. What cell is is? - How agressive?






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






6. 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)

8. 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






9. 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)






10. 66%






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






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






13. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






14. To prevent future development in high risk areas






15. A group of more than 200 diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and unregulated growth of cells -caused by both external and internal factors -second leading cause of death in U.S.






16. Mimic body's immune system






17. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






18. Medication that caused birth defects by cutting off blood supply - now trying to use it to cut off angiogenesis






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. 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






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






22. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






24. Mimic body's immune system






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






26. 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






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






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






30. 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






31. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






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






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






34. Extent of disease






35. Lung - Lyrnyx - Esophagus - pancreas - mouth - stomach - leukemia - bladder - kidney - cervix






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






37. Lung - Lyrnyx - Esophagus - pancreas - mouth - stomach - leukemia - bladder - kidney - cervix






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






39. 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






40. Depending upon site -skin: dry - itchy - red and irritated - desquamation (skin peeling) -Heart -Bowel & bladder -skin erythema -hyper pigmentation -Itching -Fatigue -Dry or moist desquamation -Edema -Loss of sensation -Pain






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






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






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






44. 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)






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






46. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






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






48. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension
