Q

Neoplasia

A

Uncontrolled growth of cells

Proliferation that cannot be adequately controlled under normal regulatory mechanism’s operating a normal tissues by normal cells

Swelling - tumor
Spelling that is not a tumor is gout

Not all neoplasia are tumors- leukemia, multiple myeloma

Q

Which tumor has a capsule

A

Benign tumor has a capsule, does not invade and limit soft tissue

Malignant tumor does not have a capsule , invades surrounding soft tissue, and infiltrates

Q

Nerve tissue

A

Neuroma, Neuroglioma, neuroblasto, meningeal, sarcoma

20
Q

Lymphoid tissue

21
Q

Hematopoietic tissue

A

Leukemia
Myelodysplasia
Myeloproliferative syndromes

22
Q

Staging in cancer

A

Stage 0- Ca in situ
Stage 1- localized to primary organ
Stage 2- increased risk of spread due to tumor size
Stage 3- spread regionally
Stage 4- disseminated to distant sites

23
Q

TNM

A

Tumor, node, metastasis

T- size of a tumor 0-4
N- lymph node involvement 0-4
M- metastasis 1- present 0- none

P- pathological staging lab work stage
C- clinical stage

24
Q

Gender bias

A

Males- prostate lung bronchus colon
Females - breast lung bronchus colon

Males with African ethnicity, heaviest cancer burden

25
Endogenous
Genetic origin Breast prostate ovarian colon cancer
26
Exogenous
Environmental or external Tobacco alcohol Viruses- cervical cancer, burkits lymphoma Chemical - tar , soot, dye, hydrocarbons arsenic Drugs - cytotoxic drugs, steroids Hormones - estrogen
27
Hereditary risk factor for cancer
5% of 10% link to inherited genes
28
Aging risk factor for cancer
50 years, 65 years and older more resistant to chemotherapy
29
Lifestyle, risk factor for cancer
Tobacco 90% of cancers Obesity and type two diabetes Sexual - cervical cancer Hormones - prolonged exposure to estrogen
30
Ethnicity is factor for cancer
Socio economic can delay diagnosis Stomach and liver cancer in Asian Americans Increased risk of cancer with years living in US
31
Oncogenesis
Oncogenes 100 identified Segments of DNA Transfer normal cells to malignant cells Activated by carcinogens Oncogene force cells to grow in the absence of a normal stimulus Antioncogenes- tumor suppression
32
Metastasize relevance
Not all malignant cells metastasize Potential for metastasis - cloned cells that divide and migrate
33
Embolization
Clone cells, reach a cavity or lymphatics or blood vessel Fluid carry the clones sells Seed them at distance Cells survived the attack of circulating neutrophils , nk cells, T cells
34
Angiogenesis
Formation of new blood vessels
35
Metastasis
3 to 5 years after diagnosis and treatment Pulmonary system - most common! due to Venus draining from SVC, an IVC to the heart and lungs Hepatic filters blood from GI CNS - from lungs via carotid Lymphatic system - lymph nodes
36
Local manifestations of cancer
Due to location of the tumor on surrounding structure Laryngeal cancer - hoarseness Endometrial cancer - abnormal bleeding
37
Systemic manifestations of cancer
Anorexia Pyrexia Weakness, anemia, coagulation disorders Cancer pain Tachycardia Tachypnea Fatigue
38
Symptoms of tumors
Depends on site and type of tumor Weakness Weight loss Appetite loss Pain may not be present Swelling Presence of masses Vomiting, diarrhea, constipation Easy, bruising, or bleeding thrombosis Anemia Seizures or neurological symptoms
39
Treatment relevant to PT
Pain control Pharmacologic opioids Massage - massage won’t spread cancer, But no direct pressure over tumor. helps with anxiety and stress reduction, avoid deep tissue massage Modalities - therapeutic E stim contraindicated onto tumor site
40
Paraneoplastic syndromes
Cancer can produce systemic signs and symptoms that are not direct effects of a tumor Signs and symptoms of a site distance from the tumor
41
Cushing syndrome
Paraneoplastic syndrome Small cell carcinoma of the lung
42
Hypercalcemia
Paraneoplastic syndrome Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
43
Polycythemia
Paraneoplastic syndrome Renal cell carcinoma
44
Venous thrombosis
Paraneoplastic syndrome Pancreatic carcinoma
45
Myasthenia gravis
Paraneoplastic syndrome Thymoma
