Question
Answer
True or False?Malignant transformation occurs with aneuploidy?   True  
🗑
True or False?When a cell gains or loses whole chromosomes it does not have structural abnormalities?   False. It does have structural abnormalities. (page 476 iggy)  
🗑
True or False?When grading a tumor Gx cannot be determined?   True  
🗑
True or False?Tumor cells that are well differentiated and closely resemble the normal cells are graded as G1?   True  
🗑
True or False? G4 tumor cells resemble the normal cells from which they arose?   False. G4 tumor cells are poorly differentiated and retain no normal cell characteristics. Determination of the tissue orgin is difficult and impossible. (Page 476 iggy)  
🗑
TNM system stands for?   Tumor, node, metastasis system  
🗑
TNM systems have specific prognostic value for this type of tumor?   Solid type tumors  
🗑
True of False?TNM staging is useful for leukemia and lymphomas?   False. (Page 476 Iggy)  
🗑
Name the 3 ways staging is done for cancer?   1. clinical staging 2.Surgical staging 3.Pathologic staging  
🗑
True or False?TNM system refers to:Tumor, lymph nodes, extent of local, regional, and distant metastasis?   True  
🗑
True or False?When staging a tumor, the letter "M" stands for Primary Tumor?   False. The letter "T" stands for Primary tumor.The letter "N" stands for NODE. The letter "M" stands for METASTASIS.  
🗑
This staging assess the client's manifestations, signs for tumor size and possible spread? (What is this staging called)   Clinical staging  
🗑
Tests are used and cancer cells may be obtained for biopsy in this stage, but this stage does not include MAJOR SURGERY. What is this STAGE called?   Clinical staging  
🗑
This staging assesses the tumor size, number, sites and spread by INSPECTION at SURGERY. What is this staging called?   Surgical staging  
🗑
This is the most definitive type of staging. What is it called?   Pathologic staging  
🗑
True or False?The American joint Committee on Cancer developed the TNM system to describe the anatomic extent of cancers?   True  
🗑
What 3 factors play a role in carcinogenesis?   1. Exposure to carcinogens 2. Genetic predispositon 3. Immune function  
🗑
The activation of proto-oncogenes into oncogenes causes?   Carcinogenesis  
🗑
Proto-oncogenes are genes that direct what?   Early embryonic development  
🗑
At what day do the suppressor genes turn off the control of the proto-oncogenes to keep them from being overexpressed?   On day 8. Suppressor genes can act directly at the DNA level, preventing the proto-oncogene from being overexpressed.  
🗑
When a normal cell is exposed to any carcinogen, what specific cell's DNA can be damaged or mutated?   Suppressor gene  
🗑
True or False?There are about 70 different proto-oncogenes that can be activated into oncogenes and are not considered abnormal genes but are part of every cell's normal makeup and were important in early development?   True  
🗑
True or False?Oncogenes can cause the cell to change from normal to cancer cells and uncontrolled cell division?   True  
🗑
True or False?When thinking about carcinogenesis, many household chemicals, drugs and other products used in everyday life should be considered?   True  
🗑
True or False?Small doses of radiation do not affect cells?   False (Page 477iggy)  
🗑
True or False?Lung, Pharyngeal, Esophagus, Cervical, Bladder, Stomach, Oral cavity, Laryngeal, Pancreatic, Kidney, Liver and Myeloid Leukemia can all be caused from Tobacco Use?   True  
🗑
How long do platelets live?   7 to 10 days  
🗑
What two types of Radiation rays cause cancer?   Ionizing and UV rays  
🗑
The incidence in skin cancer is higher in people with what type of injuries?   burn scars and severe skin injuries  
🗑
Barrett's Esophagus is considered to be an example of what type of cancer?   Chronic irritation cancer due to tissue trauma.  
🗑

🗑
This type of viral origin is known to cause primary liver carcinoma?   Hepatitis B virus  
🗑
What 3 personal factors affect cancer development?   Age, immune function, Genetic Risk  
🗑
What are 7 Risk factors for developing cancer?   1. Tobacco 2. Alcohol 3. Occupational Exposure 4. Radiation 5. Diet 6. Viruses 7. Drugs  
🗑
Oncoviruses   Viruses that cause cancer (hepatitis B; Epstein-Barr)  
🗑
What test can confirm or rule out a person's predisposition or risk for specific cancers?   Genetic Testing  
🗑
