Solved
radioresistant Correct Ans-cancer may have a partial response or no response to radiation
radiosensitive Correct Ans-cancer degenerates in response to radiation
regurgitation Correct Ans-leakage and backward flow of blood into the left atrium
relapse Correct Ans-recurrence
remission Correct Ans-symptom free
resect Correct Ans-to cut and remove a *SEGMENT* of an organ containing tumor
respiratory therapist Correct Ans-tech who administers inhalation therapies
retro Correct Ans-behind
retrograde pyelogram Correct Ans-dye is flushed backwards up the urethra and bladder and
up the ureters to kidneys
x-ray imaging
,rheumatoid arthritis Correct Ans-autoimmune disease
body produces antibodies and attacks joint tissues. the synovial fluid surrounding the joint
becomes inflamed
rhino Correct Ans-nose
rotator cuff tear Correct Ans-tear in the tendons that contribute to the muscular strength of the

symptom Correct Ans-complaint that is observed by the patient
T staging term Correct Ans-tumor size
tachy Correct Ans-fast
ten/o, tendin/o Correct Ans-tendon

away prostate
treatment for BPH
tumor markers Correct Ans-substances expressed by the tumor and by the body in response to
the presence of a tumor
absence of tumor marker can confirm success of treatment, but increase in tumor marker may
indicate recurrence
