Leading sites of new cancer cases ✔Correct Answer-Male- prostate
Female- Breast
Leading cause of cancer deaths ✔Correct Answer-Male- lung and bronchus
Female- lung and bronchus
without shape or differentiation, small and round ✔Correct Answer-Anaplastic
A Developmental gene expressed at an inappropriate time, capable of transforming a normal
cell into a cancer cell ✔Correct Answer-Oncogene
cancer development; also called carcinogenesis ✔Correct Answer-Oncogenisis
substances that change the activity of a cell's genes so that the cell becomes a cancer cell. May
be chemicals, physical agents, or viruses ✔Correct Answer-Carcinogen
COMMON CARCINOGENS ✔Correct Answer-Alcohol
Steroids
Arsenic
Asbestos
Benzene
Chemotherapy drugs
Diesel exhaust
formaldehyde
new cell growth not needed for normal body growth ✔Correct Answer-Neoplasm
new, nonmalignant cell growth not needed for normal body growth ✔Correct Answer-Benign
neoplasm
cancerous, new growth of cells by invasion that is not needed for normal growth and
development ✔Correct Answer-Malignant neoplasm
a tumor formed in a specific tissue as a result of a carcinogenic agent or event ✔Correct
Answer-Primary tumor
a tumor formed as a result of breaking off from a primary tumor and spreading to distant sites
(metastisis) ✔Correct Answer-Secondary tumor
, cell division by exact duplication
-Most tissues and organs stop growing by cell division after development is complete
✔Correct Answer-Mitosis
growth that causes tissue to increase in size by enlarging each cell-normal cells ✔Correct
Answer-Hypertrophy
growth that causes tissue to increase in size by increasing the number of cells- cancer
✔Correct Answer-Hyperplasia
the amount of time it takes for a tumor to double in size by mitotic cell divisions ✔Correct
Answer-Doubling time
the low white blood cell counts that occur after cancer chemotherapy- usually 7 to 10 days after
administration ✔Correct Answer-Nadir
chemicals that can cause tissue damage on direct contact ✔Correct Answer-Vesicant
the period of time necessary for one cell to enter and complete one round of cell division by
mitosis ✔Correct Answer-Generation time
Characteristics of normal cells ✔Correct Answer--Limited cell division
1. to develop normal tissue
2. to replace lost or damaged normal tissue
to ensure that each organ has adequate number of cells at their functional peak ✔Correct
Answer-Apoptosis
specific appearance, size, shape ✔Correct Answer-Show specific morphology
Characteristics- continued ✔Correct Answer--Small nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio- size of nucleus
is small
-Perform specific differentiated functions
-Adhere tightly together
-Are nonmigratory
-Grow in an orderly and well-regulated manner
Characteristics- continued ✔Correct Answer--Contact inhibited- each cell divides only when
some of its surface is not in direct contact with another cell
-Euploid- having 23 pairs of chromosomes
Characteristics of abnormal cell growth
-Benign tumor cells ✔Correct Answer--Have inappropriate or continuous cell growth
-Show specific morphology- of parent cells
