rad onc Flashcards
(17 cards)
uncharged particles -photons neutrons
interact less
ionize indirectly
penetrate farther
Charged particles
interact strongle
ionize directly
ewing sarcoma
poorly differentiated neural tissue
FLi-1
ERG
Malignant =
benign
neuroblastoma
ganglioneuroma
neuroblastoma presentation
hypertension
neuroblastoma can be stroma poor or
stroma rich
Neuroblastoma characterized by
MYCN gene amplification
lack of amplification still not a good prognosis
major prognostic factors for NB
- age - <18 months do better
- clinical stage
- mitosis karyorrhexis indec
- aneuploidy do better
- MYCN gene amplification unfavorable
nephroblastoma -
triphasic
epithelial
stromal balstemal
nephrogenic rest
perssistent foci of renal deveopmental tissue
nephroblastoma defined by
anaplastic nuclear changes
anaplastic nuclear changes
cellular and nuclear enlargment
hyperchromasia
multipolar and abnormal mitoses
focal anaplasia is NOT a
poor prognostic marker
External evidence of trauma
Blunt impact trauma
asphyxia
gunshot wounds
Sharp pointed objects
Blunt impact trauma
1- contusion
2- abrasion
3- laceration
4- fracture
asphyxia
- petechial hemorrhages
- pressure to neck impeding venous return
hanging
NO petechiae if complete suspension
PETECHIAE if incomplete
