Neoplasia Flashcards
when considering the staging of neoplasia using the TNM system, what does TNM represent? A: tumor, neoplasm, mode B: time, neoplasm, mode C: tumor, node, metastases D: time node metastases
C: tumor, node, metastases
- STAGING: extent
AGRESSIVENESS: differentiation
what is not characteristic of malignant tutors A: metastases B: encapsulated C: poorly differentiated D: infiltrates surrounding tissues
B: encapsulated
benign is usually encapsulated well differentiated and no metastases and not always harmful
malignant growths grow rapidly, infiltrate surrounding tissues and are NOT encapsulated
a client who has. relative with cancer is asking about the warning signs that may relate to cancer. what response identifies a warning sign of cancer A: presence of dry cough B: sore took a month or more to heal C: lump located only in the breast area D: sudden weight loss
D: sudden weight loss
UNEXPLAINED ethologyetiology
what is the result of uncontrolled proliferation of neoplastic cells A: neoplasia B: hyperplasia C: brain cancer D: malignant neoplasia
D: malignant neoplasia
uncontrolled, neoplastic
NEOPLASIA means new growth, NOT NECESSAIRLY CANCER
malignant: uncontrolled!
what kind of tutors usually lack a capsule and are NOT demarcated (with limit or boarder) A: hypertrophic B: metaplastic C: malignant D: benign
C: malignant
LACK capsule and are NOT demarcated with limit
in general, benign tutors are usually named by adding what suffix to the tissue type from which the growth originates A: plasia B: oma C: in situ D: plasm
B: oma
cancerous: sarcoma or carcinoma
benign: oma
what term is used to describe the development of a secondary tumor in a location distant from primary site A: distant B: expansion C: metastasis D: angiogenesis
C: metastasis
Cancer is a disorder of altered cell differentiation and growth
TRUE
Benign neoplasms are less differentiated tumours that grow in crab like manner and invade surrounding tissues, have cells that break loose and travel distant sites to form metastases and inevitably cause death unless controlled through treatment
FALSE: that is malignant
oncogenes are normal genes
FALSE: porto-oncogenes are normal, mutated porto-oncogenes are oncogenes.
what syndrome is defined as the production of signs and symptoms at sites that are not directly affected by the disease and cancer A: histone modification B: paraneoplastic C: point mutation D: gene silencing
B
what characteristics describe paraneoplastic syndrome
A: often reversible
B: symptom complexes triggered by cancer
C: caused by direct local effects of tumour mass
D: can be due to immune response triggered by the tumour
B & D
what term corresponds its the term angiogenesis
A: component of wound healing
B: process by which cancer can spread and grow
C: without this process the growth of a tumour is limited to millimetre
D: protection against aberrant cell growth that may lead to malignancy
A,B,C
D: protection against aberrant cell growth IS APOPTOSIS
