,Which of the following is not an oncology emergency typically related to CNS tumors?
A) CSF leak
B) Spinal cord compression
C) Increased intracranial pressure
D) Superior Vena Cava Syndrome - correct ans:D) Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
The most serious hypercoagulable state occurring in individuals with cancer is DIC. The most common
cause of this bleeding disorder is
A) neoplasms such as breast cancer or leukemia
B) infection
C) heparin drip
D) liver disease - correct ans:B) infection
Which of the following is not correct regarding the pathophysiology of DIC?
A) Intrinsic pathway (factor VII) activated with damage to endothelial lining of blood vessels and
extrinsic pathway (factor XII) activated with damage to subendothelial tissue
B) The extrinsic and intrinsic pathway activations result in clot formation and activation of coagulation
cascade
C) Fibrin clots are formed, accumulate in body's circulatory system
D) Clots consume available platelets and coagulation proteins. - correct ans:A) Intrinsic pathway (factor
VII) activated with damage to endothelial lining of blood vessels and extrinsic pathway (factor XII)
activated with damage to subendothelial tissue
Extrinsic pathway (factor VII) activated with damage to endothelial lining of blood vessels and intrinsic
pathway (factor XII) activated with damage to subendothelial tissue
Which of the following is the most common cause of DIC?
A) sepsis and/or severe infection
B) vascular abnormalities
C) severe allergic reactions
, D) severe immunologic reactions
E) malignancy, both solid tumors and leukemia - correct ans:A) sepsis and/or severe infection
Which of the following lab results would you not expect to see in DIC?
A) platelet count of 8,000
B) prothrombin time 30 seconds
C) fibrinogen 50-100/100 mL
D) platelet count of 150,000 - correct ans:D) platelet count of 150,000
Which of the following would not be a used management for DIC?
A) Transfusions of platelets, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate, and whole blood
B) Use of anticoagulants like heparin or low molecular weight heparin
C) Use of fibrinolytic agents- epsilon-aminocaproic acid, tranexamic acid
D) Anticoagulant factor concentrates (e.g., recombinant human-activated protein C - correct ans:A)
Transfusions of platelets, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate, and whole blood
Would not use whole blood
What is a disorder of platelet aggregation, in which thrombosis of the microvasculature may occur?
A) Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
B) Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
C) Thromboembolism
D) Pulmonary Embolism - correct ans:B) Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
With lack of ADAMTS13 causes ULVWFs to be broken down and, instead, continue to stick to the
endothelium, collecting platelets that pass by, which results in formation of thrombi. This correctly
describes which metabolic emergency?
A) Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
B) Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
C) Thromboembolism
