ddt 2 Flashcards
skin cancer that is more aggressive , highly treatable and has noudles or red scaly patches skin around face ears lips
squamous cells caricoma and it affects fair skinned
— type of cancer tahts 75% and its the basal layer of the epidermis and grows slowly , shiny small bumps , light skinned ppl , areas exposed to the sun
- basal cell caricoma
least common
most deadly
79% of skin cancer deaths
pigment on the skin and begins as a mole
spreads quickly
fair skinned ppl but affects everyone
maligant melanoma
— are also called bronchogenic carcinoma
lung cancer and its the first cause of deaths of cancer
types of lung cancer:
- small cell lung cancer 15% caused by smoking and near the bronchi n is very aggressive
- large celled carinoma 15% benign and is in any part of tre lungs and grows quickly
- adencorcima 40% most prevalent , lining of the alveoli , common form of skin cancer and affects ppl who smokes and never smoked
- squnous cell 30% , flat cells , near bronchi , grows slow, more common in men , caused by smoking
– cancer found in the blood and bone marrow caused by abnormal production if wbc that cant fight infection and impair the ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells
leuckimna
—- affects the lymphatic system due to the excess fluids and produces immune cells , amdnormal lymphocytes become lymphoma cells which collect in the lymph nodes and tissues
lymphoma
—- targtes the plasma cells and prevents the production of antibodies so weak immune system and is sensitive to infections
myeloma
causes of cancer:
- physical - radiation
- chemical - mutagens
- biological - virals and genetic
in biologicla mutes ( virals )
- human papilloma virus causes –
- T cell lymphatic virus causes —
- hepatits b virus causes —-
- HIV causes —-
helicobacter pylori causes —
- cerival cancer
- lymphoma
- liver cancer
- kaposi disease
- stomach cancer
— mutation caused by forge in molecules binding to the cells dna and causes misreading
chemical mutagens
chemical mutagens such as:
- benzopyrene
- vinyl chloride
- aflatoxin
- hetricylic amid
- cigarets smoke
- plastic
-mould - overcooked food
physical mutagen is caused by —-
ionising radiation( punches holes in the dna as x ray and solar radiation aka cosmic rays which are directly or indirectly by radon gas ) , uv( causes certain portions of the dna to be bound together and misreading is caused ) and mineral fibere ( due to their size as absetos , damage dna direvyly
- a benign tumor projevting surface of the epithelium
polyp , papiloma
— begin timor of epithelia tissuey with glandular organs and organs as adrenal gland , pitutry gland , thyroid glad and prostate
adenoma , Adeno-gland
