22
Q

Alcohol cancer?

A

mouth –> stomach incl. esophagus.
liver
breast

23
Q

Examples of secondary prevention?

A

early detection & treatment
screening for cervical, colon, prostate, breast for certain age groups
lung cancer based on hx

sens, spec, ppv, npv apply to the screening tests

24
Q

Avoiding carcinogens is an example of what

A

primary prevention

25
Q

breast cancer screening , how often

A

Ages 40-44 have the option to start screening with a mammogram every year.
Women 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year.
Women 55 and older can switch to a mammogram every other year, or they can choose to continue yearly mammograms. Screening should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live at least 10 more years.

Some women – because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors – should be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms.

26
Q

CBE and/or SBE?

A

Clinical breast exam (CBE) is no longer recommended for women of average-risk
Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care provider.
Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20s.

27
Q

The only time a clinical breast exam is done

A

In some situations, particularly for women at higher-than-average risk, for example, health care providers may still offer clinical breast exams.

28
Q

breast cancer screening recommendations for HIGH risk patients

A

High risk = clinician exam, breast MRI yearly, mammo yearly, starting at age 30. the images are done 6 months apart.

29
Q

Who is rated high risk for breast cancer?

A
  • BRCA1/2 gene or 1st degree relative with it

-family history of breast cancer

  • radiation therapy under 30
  • Lifraumeni, Cowden, Bannavan-Riley-Ruvalcaba (or 1st deg. relative)
30
Q

Colon Cancer screenings begin at

A

Age 45 through age 75.

31
Q

Tests that only find colon cancer

A

yearly fecal occult test
yearly fecal immunochemical test
Stool DNA test

32
Q

Tests that find both colon polyps and cancer

A

felxible sigmoidscopy every 5 years
colonoscopy every 10 years
double contrast barium enema every 5 years
CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years

33
Q

How often are paps and HPV tests done

A

ACS - 25 and up - HPV every 5 yrs and paps are done every 3 yrs
USPTF - paps start at age 21, every 3 years. At age 30, same rec. as ACS

34
Q

Staging vs monitoring

A

Monitoring detects reappearance. Staging detects extent, progression, and tx plan

35
Q

What words to avoid and what words to use when delivering cancer news

A

Good = cancer, malignant
Bad = fatal, terminal

36
Q

Chance of cancer causing depression and how to diagnose depression

A

at least 2 weeks.
3 or more factors.

37
Q

Meds for cancer caused depression

A

fluexotine, sertraline, paroxetine
(SSRIs) or TCA
4-6 weeks for response, use for at least 6 months

38
Q

first major determinant of treatment outcome/prognosis

A

Tumor burden
-understanding the extent of the disease

39
Q

How does TNM contribute to staging

A

You have a chart w/ corresponding TMN sections that tell you what stage the patient is in

T = tumor size, invasion
N = lymph node
M = metastasis

40
Q

which cancers don’t use the TNM staging method

A

hematopoietic tumors such as leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma are often disseminated at presentation and do not spread like solid tumors.

41
Q

What do we use to measure physiological reserve

A

Karnofsky, ECOG (Eastern cooperative oncology group)

-100 normal for karn (0 to 100), 0 dead
-5 is dead for ecog (0-5)

42
Q

What is a bad physiological reserve

A

Old patient with Karn less than 70, or ECOG 3 or more

43
Q

Can tumor markers diagnose?

A

No!
Only a tissue bx can.
Tumor markers are used to assess response to treatment.

44
Q

CA-125

A

ovarian cancer, some lymphomas,
Menstruation, peritonitis, pregnancy

45
Q

CA 19-9

A

Colon, pancreatic, breast cancer

46
Q

Prostate-specific antigen

A
