45
what is dysplasia
greater presence of abnormal cells
46
what is metastasis
spread of cancerous cells from the primary tumor
47
what is differentiation in cancer
normal cells mature or differentiate into mature types of normal tissue altered or lost completely with malignancies the more undifferentiated the more aggressive the cancer
48
what is anaplasia
loss of differentiation
49
how can we classify neoplasm
cell type tissue origin- primary or secondary degree of differentiation benign or malignant
50
what is considered in stage 0 cancer
carcinoma preinvasive
51
what is considered in stage 1 cancer
early stage, local cancer
52
what is considered in stage 2 cancer
increased risk of spread because of tumor size
53
what is considered in stage 3 cancer
local cancer has spread but may not be metastasized to distant regions
54
what is considered stage 4 cancer
cancer has spread and metastasized to distant sites
55
what are the most prevalent cancers
lung breast colorectal
56
why are the most prevalent cancers so prevalent
all involve mucous producing glands
57
what are the most treatable cancers
prostate and breast
58
what percentage of cancers are due to genetics
5-10% most often- prostate, breast, ovarian, and colorectal
59
what percentage of cancers are due to exogenous
50% all are most preventable
60
what are cancer risk factors
prior cancer lifestyle some viruses excessive and abnormal amounts of some hormones inflammatory diseases
61
how might genes be affected by risk factors to produce cancer
chromosomal additions or subtractions
62
what sites are cancers more likely to metastasize to
lung liver bone brain lymph nodes
63
how does cancer metastasize
gains access to blood supply hormones can sometimes influence growth
64
what are the contraindications for physical activity with cancer
fatigue so energy conservation for the body to fight

time period when an organism can be shed or the infectious period when one can become infected
74
what is a virus
dependent of host cells for life and reproduction no antibiotics anti-viral meds only help S&S and limit the virus
