APHON Principles of Chemo and
Biotherapy
Five levels of reproduction of cells - ANS-Resting, Postmitotic, synthesis, premitotic, mitosis
6 cellular characteristics of malignant cells in less complicated terms - ANS-Mutated DNA
alters commands for function 2. Parasitic to host and has no beneficial function three.
Uncontrolled duplicate four. Invades surrounding tissues and mets five. Immortal 6. Call
delivery is extra then cell dying
6 essential alterations in ordinary mobile physiology that dictate malignant boom - ANS-1.
Self-sufficiency in boom indicators 2. Insensitivity to increase-inhibitory indicators 3.
Avoidance of apoptosis 4. Limitless replication capability 5. Sustained antiangiogenesis 6.
Tissue invasion and metastasis
6 mechanisms of drug resistance through the mobile - ANS-1. Decreased drug uptake by
way of the mobile 2. Increased elimination of the drug out of the cell r/t adjustments within
the mobile membrane three. Detoxification of the drug inside the mobile r/t metabolic
modifications 4. Increased restore of DNA 5. Alterations in the structure of drug receptor
websites 6. Decreased sensitivity to apoptosis.
A better boom fraction - ANS-Results in a higher cell kill with exposure to mobile cycle
precise dealers.
Biotherapy - ANS-Targeted anticancer retailers also referred to as organic response
modifiers (BRM)
Cell Cycle time - ANS-The amount of time it takes a mobile to transport from one mitotic
episode to another.
Cell-cycle-specific marketers - ANS-Those pills that work best whilst cells are in a particular
segment of the mobile cycle.
Control - ANS-To increase the length & QOL while therapy isn't viable or realistic
Cure - ANS-To completely get rid of the cancer
Define adjuvant chemotherapy - ANS-The use of chemo after some other sort of remedy,
such as surgery, to deal with residual disorder or undetectable metastasis.
Define neoadjuvant chemotherapy - ANS-When chemo is used preoperatively to lower tumor
burden as a way to make it simpler to put off the tumor surgically.
Define pharmacodynamics - ANS-The awareness of the drug within the frame and the way it
produces a reaction
Define pharmacokinetics - ANS-Study of drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion
Define sanctuary websites - ANS-Sites inside the frame in which tumor cells sequester and
aren't easily reached through chemo inclusive of the CNS
Doubling time - ANS-The time required for a tumor mass to reach a certain length or double
in size.
Gompertzian function - ANS-As the tumor burden will increase, the price of increase slows
or ranges off.
Growth fraction - ANS-Percentage of cells actively dividing at any given factor in time.
How do corticosteroids fight cancers? - ANS-By lysing lymphoblasts, reducing cerebral
edema related to mind tumors, and help with antiemetic manage
