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.

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






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






22. 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)






23. 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.






24. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






25. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






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






27. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs
