type and what stage when found
most common cancer for less than 5
acute leukemia 35%
brain and CNS 17
what is the most common cancer for 5-9
acute leukemia 32%
brain and CNS 28
lymphoma 12
most common cancer for 10-14 years old
acute lukemia
Brian and CNS 21
lymphoma 21
most common cancer for 15-19
lymphoma 26
carcinoma 21
acute lukemia 11
what age does sarcoma become present
15-19
8%
adults vs children cause of cancer
adults is environmental
children is genetic
side effect of treatment for cancer
secondary cancer which is more dangerous
Down syndrome increases risk for what cancer
leukemia transient type
immunodeficiency more likely to develop what cancer
lymphoma
t/f lifestyle factors are not the cause for childhood cancer
true
common manifestations of cancer
pain
cachexia
anemia
infections
- febrile neutropenia
brusing and petechiae
neurlogic symptoms
palpable mass
where to do bone marrow aspiration
hip
what is the diagnostic value for bone marrow aspiration
greater than 25% cells in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
what is the diagnostic value for lumbar puncture
presence of malignant cells
ANC what its it
ratio of % of segmental neutrophils plus percent of bands times WBC count and then divide by 100
diagnostic ANC
less than 1000
ANC of less than 1000 equals
risk for infection
what is the most common malignancy under 14
leukemia
gender and race of highest risk for leukemia
white boys
peak age for leukemia
2-3
two types of leukemia
ALL - most common
AML
symptoms of leukemia
fever
bleeding (petechiae and purple)
splenomegaly
hepatomegaly
who will have more sequella after treatment ALL or AML
AML = more sequels
what happens in leukemia
proliferation of abonormal white blood cells and then the WBC are immature and then fill the bone marrow which do not work properly and and are more susceptible to diseaseh
how to diagnose leukemia
blood counts
bone marrow biopsy/apsiration
lumbar puncture
bone marrow aspiration on leukemia reveals
abonormal lymphoblasts
what is a key aspect to treatment for leukemia
B cell or T cell
what do you have to use if there is testicualr radiaton and what does that lead to
radiation and seterlity
what provides insight to overall prognosis for leukemia
number of WBC at time of diagnosis
what is the relationship between WBC count and prognosis in leukemia
higher WBC poorer prognosis
what are the four phases of chemo
induction
consolidation
delayed intensification
maintenance
- expose the area really hit hard (consolidation) and then delayed intensitifcaiton watch hw it is growing vs how much drug we are using give just enough drug to decrease the growth percentages, maintenance is to keep it low
