Case Study#41. A 49-year-old woman is seen for her yearly gynecologic examination. Basic screening indicates a
severe anemia, and she is referred to a hematologist. Further investigation of the anemia
requires a visit to a gastroenterologist. An endoscopy and colonoscopy are performed, and the
woman is diagnosed with a partially obstructing tumor in her colon. After surgery to remove the
tumor, the woman and her husband are informed that she has stage III colon cancer with
involvement of two lymph nodes.
A. Cancer cells are characterized by the neoplasms which is an abnormal growth of tissue.
B. The most commonly reported symptom of cancer is fatigue. They feel tired and exhausted.
C. After discussing her diagnosis with an oncologist, the woman chooses to undergo
chemotherapy. Since she has already undergone a resection or removal of the tumor, her
treatment therapy is considered to be Adjuvant chemotherapy. It is the combination of
surgery (resection) and chemotherapy.
