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.

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






30. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






31. Major cause is smoking






32. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






33. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






34. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






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






36. Cells differ slightly from normal cells






37. 66%






38. 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
