| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Malignant Melanoma Risk Factors | Skin type, Family history, UV exposure |
| Malignant Melanoma Screens and Confirmation | Visual exam and biopsy |
| Malignant Melanoma S&S | A: asymetrical B: borders (malignant ones are jagged) C: color (malignant ones have irregular color) D: diameter (malignant ones are normally larger than 6mm in diameter) E: elevated E: evolving (malignat will constantly change) |
| Malignant Melanoma Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 91% |
| Malignant Melanoma Prevention | Avoid over exposure to UV rays |
| Bronchiogenic cancer Risk Factors | Family history, Air quality |
| Bronchiogenic cancer Screens and Confirmation | Chest x-ray and biopsy |
| Bronchiogenic cancer S%S | Cough that develops and won't go away |
| Bronchiogenic cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 16% |
| Bronchiogenic cancer Prevention | Tests need to be more sensative and treatment options need to be improved. |
| Colorectal cancer Risk Factors | Family history, diets high in saturated fats, inflammatory bowel diseases |
| Colorectal cancer Screens and Confirmation | test for occult blood, colonoscopy (should start at 50 & be every 2 - 4 yrs, start at 30 if fam history). Biopsy. |
| Colorectal cancer S | None. detectable blood in stoole, but not visible. |
| Colorectal cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 65% |
| Colorectal cancer Prevention | Encourage people to get regular exams. |
| Prostate cancer Risk Factors | family history, age ~ before 50: rare, 50 - 70: risk increase gradually, over 70: risk increases rapidly. |
| Prostate cancer Screens and Confirmation | DRE, PSA blood tests and biopsy. |
| Prostate cancer S | Urine flow ~ hard time starting & emptying bladder, increase in frequency. |
| Prostate cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate with early detection is over 99%. |
| Prostate cancer Prevention | Regular exams. |
| Testicular cancer Risk Factors | family history, puberty - mid 30's has higher risk, having mumps as a child, higher risk as adult |
| Testicular cancer Screens and Confirmation | Physical exam and biopsy |
| Testicular cancer S | lumps in testes |
| Testicular cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 95% |
| Breast cancer Risk Factors | family history, estrogen exposure over life time, structure of estrogen receptors |
| Breast cancer Screens and Confirmation | Stage one - starts at 20 yrs - monthly self exam, clinical exam every 3 yrs. Stage two - starts at 40 yrs. - monthly self exam, annual clinical exam and mammograms. |
| Breast cancer S&S | painless lump, dimpling of skin, discharge from nipple |
| Breast cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 89% If caught early: 98% |
| Breast cancer Prevention | early detection is key |
| Cervical cancer Risk Factors | multiple sexual partners, unprotected sex |
| Cervical cancer Screens and Confirmation | PAP smear and biopsy. |
| Cervical cancer S | None. Only way to know is to have screen test done. |
| Cervical cancer Prognosis | 5 yr. survival rate: 71% If caught early: over 90% |
