Question
Answer
Cancer treatment involves interrupting cell division by the following methods:   show
🗑
show a) monoclonal antibody b) tyrosine kinase inhibitor  
🗑
show ...metastasis has not occurred. Definitive local therapy should occur BEFORE surgery  
🗑
show 1) post surgery 2) Targeted to catch any remaining cancer cells around the excision site  
🗑
show Involves specific cell surface or intracellular targets  
🗑
Systemic chemotherapy   show
🗑
show a) increase dose and decrease time between intervals (intensity) b) decrease time between intervals  
🗑
Treatment causes a loss of the WBC population. This is called...   show
🗑
show WBC counts to return to regular count  
🗑
Methods of monitoring improvement include:   show
🗑
show Secondary malignancies, myelosuppression, N/V (treated with neurokinin or 5HT3 antagonists, e.g. odanestron), organ toxicity (heart, lung, kidney, CNS), alopecia (hair loss, balding), mucositis, diarrhea  
🗑
Tumor Lysis Syndrome   show
🗑
Management of tumor lysis syndrome: What three things need to be done?   show
🗑
show 1) hydration 2) acid/base correction 3) sodium bicarbonate  
🗑
Tumor Lysis Syndrome management: What drug can prevent uric acid formation?   show
🗑
show Ras-bur-i-case (Elitek)  
🗑
show Renal  
🗑
This drug is for the treatment of gout and prevents uric acid formation by blocking xanthine oxidase   show
🗑
These drugs target mitotic spindles, which are only present during the mitotic M phase   show
🗑
show Cell cycle non-specific  
🗑
show Cell cycle specific  
🗑
Anti-cancer drugs work best in what kind of cell? Why?   show
🗑
Creating lesions in DNA flowchart   show
🗑
show cytochromE C and "apoptosis activating factor", which activates a chain of caspases. AIF (apoptosis-inducing factor) is also released from the mitochondria and goes into the nucleus and binds to DNA, releasing free radicals to further damage the DNA  
🗑
Nitrogen mustards. List prototype and other agents.   show
🗑
Alkyl sulfonates. List prototype   show
🗑
Nitrosoureas. List both prototypes   show
🗑
show Thiotepa  
🗑
show Mitomycin C  
🗑
show Prototype: Cisplatin Other agents: carboplatin & oxaliplatin  
🗑
Triazenes. List the prototype   show
🗑
Hydrazines. List the prototype.   show
🗑
show Cyclophosphamide  
🗑
show Ifosfamide  
🗑
show Mechlorethamine  
🗑
show Busulfan  
🗑
Clinical utilities: Astrocytoma, brain metastases, Hodgkin's, NHL, malignant glioma, medulloblastoma, multiple myeloma   show
🗑
show Thiopeta  
🗑
Clinical utilities: Pancreatic, breast, bladder, colorectal, gastric, H/N, lung, mesothelioma   show
🗑
show Cisplatin  
🗑
show Carboplatin  
🗑
show Dacarbazine  
🗑
Clinical utilities: HL, NHL, glioma, medulloblastoma, lung   show
🗑
show Chlorethyl functional group  
🗑
show 1) Cyclophosphamide 2) Ifosfamide 3) Merchlorethamine 4)Melphalan 5) Chlorambucil  
🗑
bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agents MOA   show
🗑
These groups are also modified by bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agents, but these modifications are not thought responsible for cytotoxic action   show
🗑
Cells in this stage are most susceptible to bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agents.   show
🗑
Resistance mechanisms to bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agents   show
🗑
These bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agents have a direct vesicant-action (blister forming)   show
🗑
show bone marrow toxicity, GI, reproductive systems (oligospermia & amenorrhea), alopecia  
🗑
A bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agent that is slightly different from the rest and has its own CNS toxicity   show
🗑
show Cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, melphalan. This causes fibrosis, progressive dyspnea, cyanosis, pulmonary insufficiency. These things can occur even after the drug is withdrawn.  
🗑
Bis(chlorethyl)amine alkylating agent: more side effects   show
🗑
show Acrolein. It is not anti-tumor, but it does cause renal toxicity.  
🗑
Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide can cause renal failure. Which tubules in the kidney are most greatly affected? The proximal or the distal?   show
🗑
Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide release acrolein, which causes severe hemorrhagic cystitis ( blood in urine). What agent can be given prophylactically to prevent this toxicity?   show
🗑
show Mesna remains in the intravascular fluid, is []ed in the bladder, and is less likely to be absorbed by tumor cells. It doesn't interfere with antitumor activity of ifosfamide or cyclophosphamide.  
🗑
2nd or 3rd line therapy because of AEs. Used for RA when DMARDS fail   show
🗑
show Myelosuppression @ conventional doses, prolonged pancytopenia at high doses, pulmonary fibrosis, gastriintestinal mucosal damage, veno-occlusive dz of the liver (increased by CYP inhibitors). Longterm use-> impotence, sterility, amenorrhea, fetal toxicity  
🗑
Rare side effects of busulfan   show
🗑
Nitrosoureas: list four   show
🗑
show They can get into the BBB  
🗑
show Carmustine/BCNU and lomustine/CCNU  
🗑
show Carmustine. 2-chlorethyl isocyanate of carmustine inhibits DNA repair.  
🗑
Carmustine/BCNU MOA (bifunctional MOA)   show
🗑
Cross resistance between carmustine/lomustine with other alkylating agents (like cyclophosphamide) is common or uncommon?   show
🗑
show BCNU = parenteral CCNU = oral  
🗑
show BCNU/CCNU
