major phases of cell division: -Answer Interphase Mitotic phase Cytokinesis 3 steps of interphase: -Answer First growth phase (G1) Synthesis phase (S phase) Second growth phase (G2) 4 phases of mitosis: -Answer Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Innate immunity: -Answer Non-specific response, either: 1. Barrier (skin, mucous membranes, flora of skin/gut) 2. Cellular components (phagocytes, natural killer cells, granulocytes, macrophages)

Define mutations - ANSWER- Variations in the nucleotide sequence of a gene 3 main goals of treatment: - ANSWER- Cure Control Palliation Define neoadjuvant therapy - ANSWER- Treatment is given prior to surgery to shrink the tumor Define adjuvant therapy - ANSWER- Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer reoccur Define conditioning/preparative therapy - ANSWER- Treatments used to prepare a patient for stem cell transplantation 2 types...

Lesson 1: Foundations to Set the Stage - ANSWER Focusing on Cellular Structure and Function - ANSWER The Normal Cell Cycle - ANSWER -The cell cycle refers to the ordered seres of processes of DNA replication and mitosis, or cell division -Cell nucleus regulates these processes by gathering and processing complexes molecular information Interphase and Mitotic Phase - ANSWER Cell division produces two identical cells through these two major phases During interphase: - ANSWER Cell grows and...

Neoadjuvant therapy does not increase survival when compared to adjuvant therapy. It only changes the timing of treatment and can change surgical options if the tumor is shrunk enough. If this occurs, the patient may only require a lumpectomy plus radiation therapy instead of needing a mastectomy - Main benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (breast cancer patient) A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidisciplinary evaluation to assess life expectancy and risk of morbidity and m...

The stem cell divides, producing undifferentiated stem cells that are of what lineage? - Answer myeloid or lymphoid What cells do myeloid precursors turn into? -Answer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets What cells do lymphoid precursors turn into? -Answer specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes Granulocytes are -Answer basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils

______ has been described as a way to "fire up the immune system's response to cancer" - Immunotherapy 2 different ways that immunotherapies work against cancer: - 1. Triggering the immune system to destroy cancer cells 2. Boost immune system's ability to fight cancer 2 main types of cancer vaccines - Preventative/prophylactic Treatment/therapeutic 2 types of aromatase inhibitors - 1. Steroidal (irreversible) 2. Nonsteroidal (reversible) 2 types of conditioning therapies: - Myeloabla...
