angiogenisis ✔Correct Answer-growth of new blood vessels that allows cancer cells to grow
apoptosis ✔Correct Answer-programmed cell death
carcinogenisis ✔Correct Answer-process of transforming normal cells into malignant cells
carcinogens ✔Correct Answer-chemicals, physical factors, and other agents that cause cancer
malignant ✔Correct Answer-having cells or processes that are characteristic of cancer
metastasis ✔Correct Answer-spread of cancer from the primary tumor to distant cells
nadir ✔Correct Answer-lowest point of white blood cell depression after therapy that has
toxic effects on the bone marrow
neoplasia ✔Correct Answer-uncontrolled cell gowth that follows no physiologic demand
vesicant ✔Correct Answer-substance that can cause tissue necrosis and damage
what is the second most common cause of death in the U.S? ✔Correct Answer-cancer
top three most common cancers in men ✔Correct Answer-1 lung cancer
2 prostate cancer
3 colon cancer

lymphatic spreads; blood stream; angiogenisis
most common area to find mets ✔Correct Answer-brain, liver, bones and lungs

growth
breast cancer commonly causes metastasis because ✔Correct Answer-it is closely located to
the lymphatic system, which it uses to travel from one location to another
cancer spreads via ✔Correct Answer-the blood stream and lymphatic system
