🗑
This type of leukemia begins with a chronic stable phase which can abruptly manifest with an acute blastic phase that results in a quick death   Chronic myelogenous leukemia  
🗑
This type of leukemia involves mature neoplastic granulocytes that proliferate in bone marrow and move to peripheral circulation and infiltrate the liver and spleen   Chronic myelogenous leukemia  
🗑
The genetic marker for this type of leukemia is the Philadelphia chromosome   Chronic myelogenous leukemia  
🗑
The peak incidence of this type of leukemia is age 60-70 years of age   Acute myelogenous leukemia  
🗑

🗑
This causes the bone pain associated with leukemia   Accumulation of non-functional WBCs inside of bone marrow  
🗑
Besides bone pain, other manifestations of this disease include anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, meningeal irritation and oral lesions   Leukemia  
🗑
Diagnostics of leukemia include bone marrow biopsy and peripheral blood smear that is read by whom?   Pathologist  
🗑
Minimizing drug toxicity and attacking various stages of the cancer cell cycle are the reasons for this type of chemotherapy in the treatment of leukemia   Combination chemotherapy  
🗑
Avoiding IM and SubQ injections, avoiding valsalva maneuver, controlling bleeding, checking labs and administering platelets and blood products are interventions aimed to manage this side effect of leukemia treatment   Thrombocytopenia (less than 150,000)  
🗑
Assessing for infection, taking blood cultures, using antibiotics and antifungals, hand washing, environmental controls, protective isolation and administering neupogen are interventions aimed to manage this side effect of leukemia treatment   Neutropenia (less than 1,000/mm3)  
🗑
Defined as the proliferation of abnormal lymphocytes   Lymphoma  
🗑
Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's are the two types of this disease   Lymphoma  
🗑
Of Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's, which one is the "better" one to have if you have to have one?   Hodgkin's  
🗑
This the hallmark sign of Hodgkin's lymphoma as obtained with an excisional lymph node biopsy   Reed-Sternberg cells  
🗑

🗑
Where does Hodgkin's leukemia begin?   In the cervical lymph nodes  
🗑
Fever, night sweats and weight loss are the "B symptoms" of these diseases   Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma  
🗑
Alcohol induced pain at the site of the malignancy is a manifestation of this disease   Hodgkin's lymphoma  
🗑
This stage for Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involves one malignant lymph node   Stage 1 (would be cervical lymph node in Hodgkin's lymphoma)
