Tumor cells grow only locally and cannot spread by invasion or metastasis
Benign Tumor
Secondary Cancer is
Metastasis
Benign Tumor of smooth muscle
Leiomyoma

Lymphoma
GI, Hollow Organs, and Skin are examples of this type of tissue
Epithelial
Tendon, Bone, and Fat are examples of this type of tissue
Connective
Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal are examples of this type of tissue

What are the 3 types of Skin Cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma, Sqamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma
What does the Fitzpatrick scale access?
Risk of Skin Cancer via skin color

cured by surgical resection
Describe Basal Cell Carcinoma (4)
Found in sun exposed areas, talangiectasias, rolled borders, central ulceration
Higher skin cancer risk according to Fitzpatrick skin types
Pale, porcelain, or ivory skin
Most common skin cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Most common skin cancer

Actinic Keratosis
Characteristics of Melanoma (5)
ABCDE -Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color Variation, Diameter >6mm, Evolution over time
Precursor of Melanoma
Dysplastic Nevus
What correlates with the risk of metastasis in Melanoma?
The Depth of the Tumor
The Most common Cause of Skin Cancer Death
Melanoma
The most important prognostic factor in Melanoma?
Depth
The linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another is
Range of Motion
Devices to measure the range of motion in the joints of the body include
Goniometer and Inclinometer
Therapist moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient
Passive Range of Motion
Patient performed the exercise to move the joint without any assistance to the muscles surrounding the joint
Active Range of Motion
A family of isozymes responsible for the biotransformation of several drug interactions
Cytochrome P450
List of Inducers (9)
Chronic Alcohol Use Modafinil St. John's wort Phenytoin Phenobartibtal Nevirapine Rifampin Griseofulvin Carbamazepine
(Chronic Alcohol Mona stels Phen-Phen and Never Refuses Cheesey Carbs)

(A cute Gentlemen Cipped Iced Grapefuite Juice quickly and kept munching on soft cinnamon rolls)
Statins don’t mix well with
Grapefruit Juice
Stains that interact with Grapefruit Juice (3)
Zocor (simvastatin, Lipitor (atorvastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin)
Herb that increases the metabolism of various drugs
St. John’s Wort
The effects of Acute Vitamin E Toxicity
Digestive Disturbances, Headache/Fatique, Easy Bruising and Bleeding, Inhibition of platelet aggregation, Diplopia, Muscle weakness, Creatinuria,
The effects of Chronic Vitamin E Toxicity
Suprression of other antioxidants and increased risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke, plus acute effects
Fat-soluble vitamin that can cause easy bruising and bleeding when overused
Vitamin E
A yellow-orange coloring of the skin, primarily on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The sclerae remain white
Carotenemia
Main Sx: pain and numbness, burning and feeling like there is a pebble in the shoe.
Morton’s Neuroma
Ultrasound (sonography) demonstrates thickening of the interdigital nerve within the web space of the 3rd and 4th metatarsal
Morton’s Neuroma
Tx options for Morton’s Neuroma
Orthotics and corticosteroid injections
Morton’s Neuroma
