Ageusia Loss or absence of the sense of taste
Allogenic marrow transplantation Transfer of marrow from donor to another person
who is not genetically identical
Antineoplastic agents Chemical agents (cytotoxics, biotherapies,
hormones) or other agents used to prevent the
development, maturation or spread of neoplastic
cells
antioxidants molecules (ie. vitamins) that block action of
activated oxygen molecules (free radicals) that can
demage cells

cancer cachexia per sample test question:temporal wasting,
depleted fat stores, profound anorexia
Multifactorial syndrome characterized by ongoing
loss of skeletal muscle mass, anorexia, early satiety,
wt loss, anemia, edema, fatigue, possible metabolic
alterations, increased inflammatory markers and
progressive functional impairment.
Pathophysiology characterized by negative protein
energy balance driven by variable combination of
reduced food intake and abnormal metabolism
carcinogen an agent (physical, chemical, or viral) that induces
CA
carcinogenesis the origin or development of CA, a multistage,
biological process that proceeds on a continuum
but is often described in stages of initiation,
promotion and progression
cytokines protein mediators produced by inflammatory cells
in response to exogenous stimuli, produce
metabolic changes & wasting
dysgeusia altered taste

graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) a disease caused by the immune response of
histoincompatible, immunocompetent donor cells
against the tissues of an immunoincompetent host;
an immuniologic reaction of allogeneic donor cells
(graft) reacting against the pt (host) tissues
evidenced by icterus & abnormal liver functions,
severe /secretory diarrhea - may need total bowel
rest --> isomotic, low residue, lactose-free diet -->
solids with low lactose, fiber, fat & acideity, gastric
irritants --> regular diet
- usually 3 onths after transplant (but may be 7-10
days post)
hypogeusia decreased taste acuity
initiation the initial stage of tumorigenesis, involving
transformation of cellular DNA
malignant neoplasm mass of cancer cells that invades surrounding
tissues or spreads to distant areas of body
metastasis growth of malignant tissue THAT SPREADS to
surrounding tissue or organs
myelosuppression suppression of bone marrow cell production
neutropenia a reduction of WBC (neutrophils) that can be
caused by chemo or XRT, results in increased
susceptibility to life-threatening infections
pancytopenia a reduction in all cellular elements of the blood
(WBC, RBC, platlets)

phytochemicals nonutritive compounds in plants thought to
influence the process of tumorigenesis.
Compounds in plants (apart from vitamins,
minerals, and macronutrients) that have a beneficial
effect the body.
progression the phase in which tumor cells aggregate, grow
autonomously and form benign tumors that
eventually lead to malignant phenotype with the
capacity for tissue invasion & mets
Promotion The stage of tumorigenesis in which initiated cells
are activated by a promoting agent to multiply and
form a discrete tumor
radiation-induced enteritis a condition of inflammation that can occur after
XRT to the GI tract & that leads to diarrhea &
malabsorption
staging a classification system known as TNM that is used
to identify the "extent" of the tumor: its size, the
degree of growth & spread;
T - size of tumor
N- degree of spread to lymph nodes
M- presence of mets
