Downs syndrome
Fanconi’s syndrome
Blooms syndrome

18
Q

Risk factors Acute Leukemia

A 
Smoking
radiation
chemicals-benzene
alkylating agents=Cytoxan, Ifosfamide, cisplatin
*VIRUS
19
Q

Multiple/mass screening

A

screen entire population

20
Q

single screening

A

screen for a specific condition

21
Q

multiple screen

A

screen for 2 or more conditions

22
Q

multiphasic screening

A

profile over time

23
Q

morbidity

A

INCIDENCE-how many people HAVE the disease

24
Q

Mortality (LOOK AT p 10 ACS facts and figures)

A

DEATH-how many people die from the disease

25

Sensitivity

A

probability that a test result will be positive if the condition is positive
Positive is really a positive
**You have to be SENSITIVE when you tell someone they have cancer

26
Q

Specificity

A

probability that a test result will be negative if the condition being tested is present

27
Q

Tumor markers

A

antigens, enzymes, proteins, hormones that are secreted in response to or by tumors that can be detected in the blood-used for treatment and follow-up
NOT DIAGNOSTIC
CEA, PSA, CA125
