|---|---|
| Uncontrolled cellular division | Cancer |
| Branch of science that deals with the study, treatment, diagnosis and prevention of cancer | Oncology |
| First Phase of Cell Cycle -longest phase | Interphase |

| Production of cancer Theory of cancer causation | Carcinogenesis |
| 3 Theory of cancer causation | Initiation Promotion Progression |
| TRANSFORMED CELL initial cellular mutation occurs irreversible | Initiation |
| NEOPLASTCI LESION cancer cells stimulated to divide even further Reversible Stage | Promotion |
| MALIGNANT TUMOR cancer cells compete with one another to survive IRREVERSIBLE poor prognosis | Progression |
| cells shrink in size cause by 1. dec. oxygen, nerve and blood supply nutrients 2. aging 3. prolonged immobilization 4. dec. use of cells; wear and tear | Atrophy |
| cells increase in size | Hypertrophy |
| cells increase in amount (dumadami) PRE MALIGNANT ex. BPH | Hyperplasia |
| MALIGNANT; no basement membrane | Neoplasia aka Anaplasia |
| Once cell type is CONVERTED/REPLACED/TRANSFORMED into another cell type | Metaplasia |

| Tumor Grading Well Differentiated BENIGN closely resemble the cells of the tissues to which it came from | Grade 1 |
| Tumor Grading Moderately Differentiated | Grade 2 |
| Tumor Grading Poorly Differentiated | Grade 3 |
| Tumor Grading Undifferentiated MALIGNANT look nothing like the normal cells | Grade 4 |
| Most common management for Cancer | Surgery |
| The only confirmatory test for Cancer | Biopsy |
| Type of Biopsy solid tumors-lungs, liver, breast, thyroid | Fine Needle Aspiration |
| Type of Biopsy deep tissue samples-skin, vulva | Punch |
| Type of Biopsy superficial tissue sample | Shave |
| Type of Biopsy large tumors-portion of tumor is removed | Incisional |
| Type of Biopsy Entire tumor is removed | Excisional |
| Type of Biopsy for leukemia and lymphoma | Bone Marrow Aspiration |
| Most preferred site for Bone Marrow Aspiration -avoid for pedia <12 years old -for pedia | Posterior Illiac Crest Sternum/Breastbone Tibia |
| Risk reduction surgery | Prophylactic |
| Attempt to improve function or for cosmetic effect | Reconstructive |

| responsive to radiation should be sensitive | Radiosentive |
| difficult to kill, malignant should be resistant | Radioresistant |
| NI for Alopecia -if temporary hair loss > tell the pt. hair will grow again | Improve self esteem-offer wigs, scarves and hats |
| Stomatitis, Oral Mucositis, Esophagitis Radiation Induced Enteritis > DIARRHEA > low fiber diet | Use warm, non alcoholic mouth wash Avoid hot, rough spicy, acidic foods soft, bland diet, small frequent feeding |
| Skin Cells: Radiation Induced Dermatitis Nursing Intervention | Avoid powders, lotion(any type), chemical irritants (vicks, katinko) Avoid extreme of temp > dryness > pruritus |
| Radiosensitive Normal Cells | Connective tissues, brain cells. sensory cells, nerve cells |
| More common than Internal patient is not radioactive happens in sessions | External Radiation Therapy/Teletherapy |
| Type of Radiation Therapy IMPLANT; localized | SEALED: Internal Radiation Therapy/Brachytherapy |
| Type of Radiation Therapy IV/Oral; Pt. himself is RADIOACTIVE even body fluid as well > FLUSH THE TOILET TWICE | UNSEALED; Internal Radiation Therapy/Brachytherapy |
| NI if implant fell during activity | Pick up the implant using long handle forceps and put it in a lead lined container > REFER |
