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. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






2. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






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






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






5. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






6. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






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






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






9. Grade 1-4 - grade by cell when we can't tell where its from






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






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






12. 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






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






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






15. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






16. 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






17. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






18. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






19. Burkitt's Lymphoma -Hodgkin's Lymphoma -Testicular cancer






20. 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






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






22. -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






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






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






25. Cancer stays in one place






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






27. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






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






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






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






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






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

33. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






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






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






36. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






37. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






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






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






40. Mimic body's immune system






41. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






42. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






43. 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






44. Most common form - Linear accelerator generates ionizing radiation






45. Breast cancer

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






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






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






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






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