kill rapidly dividing cells
All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except
Necrosis

Cortisol
Epinephrine
Insulin
insulin
A disease that is native to a particular region is called
Epidemic

Cancer grading is based on
Tumor size
Local invasion
Cell differentiation

cell differentiation
Your patient is scheduled for a staging procedure. She wants to know what that means. The
correct response is which of the following?
It is a procedure for determining the extent of tumor spread
It is a histologic examination of tissues to determine the degree of tumor differentiation
Is based on exploratory surgery
It is biochemical testing of tumor cells to determine the genetic basis of the tumor
It is a procedure for determining the extent of tumor spread
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are
well established, is referred to as

, After bronchoscopy and histologic examination of a suspected tumor, your patient is
diagnosed with primary bronchial carcinoma. Thus, the tumor
Is benign
Is malignant
Is secondary to cancer elsewhere in the body
Has spread
Is malignant
Tumor markers (Select all that apply.)
a. are found only in the blood.
b. are produced by normal cells.
c. help determine cancer origin.
d. help identify progression of cancer.
e. include prostatic-specific antigen.
ANS: B, C, D, E
Tumor markers are substances associated with tumor cells that may be helpful in identifying
their tissue of origin and progression and proliferation of cancer cells. Most tumor markers
are not very specific for cancer since normal cells in the tissue of origin also produce them.
Tumor markers include prostatic-specific antigen. Some tumor cell markers are released into
the circulation, but others must be identified through biopsy of metastatic tissue.
Deficits in immune system function occur in cancer as a result of (Select all that apply.)
a. chemotherapy.
b. cancer cells.
c. cancer metastasis to bone marrow.
d. immunotherapy.
e. malnutrition.
ANS: A, B, C, E
Cancer cells secrete substances that suppress the immune system. Bone marrow
suppression may be because of invasion of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, poor
nutrition, and chemotherapeutic agents. By contrast, immunotherapy is a method of
harnessing the immune system in the treatment of cancer.
The cellular change that is considered preneoplastic is
Anaplasia
Dysplasia
Metaplasia
Hyperplasia
dysplasia
