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. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






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






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

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






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






6. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-> Cervical cancer Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-> Liver cancer HIV->Capoze's sarcomaEbstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-> Perkins (rare) lymphoma






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






8. What cell is is? - How agressive?






9. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






10. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






11. Mimic body's immune system






12. 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






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






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






15. 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






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






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






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. Cancer stays in one place






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






21. Nausea & Vomiting -Bone marrow suppression -Alopecia: Hair loss -Weight gain or loss -Anorexia -Fatigue -Decline in functional status -Mucositis-'chemo' brain: foggyness that happens post chemo






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






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






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






25. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






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






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






28. 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






29. 66%






30. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






31. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






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






33. Begins in bone - cartilage - fat - muscle - blood vessels - or other connective or supportive tissue






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






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






36. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






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






38. Limit Growth






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






40. To prevent future development in high risk areas






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






42. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






43. 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






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






45. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated

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






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






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






50. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)
