phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -
transduction enzymes that activate Akt, leading to cell survival,
increased cell proliferation, and growth
Types of CINV - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -Acute: occurring within 24
hours
-Delayed: from 24 hour - 5 days after
-Breakthrough: Occurring despite treatment
-Anticipatory: triggered by taste, odor, memories, visions, anxiety r/t
chemo
,-Refractory: occurring despite subsequent cycles when treatment failed
in earlier cycles
Neoadjuvant Treatment - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -treatment given
as a first step to shrink a tumor before the main treatment, usually
surgery
-examples: chemo, radiation therapy, hormone therapy
Adjuvant therapy - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -additonal cancer
treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the
cancer can recur
-Examples: chemo, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted
therapy, or biologic therapy
Dose density - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -refers to the drug dose per
unit of time
-reduction of time between treatments to achieve higher concentration
than in a standard treatment plan
Dose intensity - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -amount of drug delivered
over time
,-smaller doses of chemotherapy given more frequently
Relative dose intensity (RDI) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -calculated by
comparing the dose that the pt received to the planned dose of the
standard regimen
Oral Chemotherapy - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -greater challenge to
adherence because the responsibility falls on the pt and caregiver
Nonadherence - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -pt takes too few or too
many pills
Overadherence - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -when a pt believes a dose
was missed or that "more is better", too much medication may be
taken, leading to increased toxicity
Factor affecting adherence - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -provider
relationship
-side effects
-necessity
-routinization
-support
-lifestyle fit
, -cost
-medication knowledge
-pill burden
-regiment complexity
Lesson 2: Alkylating Agents - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Alkylating Agents - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -function by causing a
break in the DNA helix strand, causing interference with DNA
replication, which results in cell death
Alkylating Agent Subgroups - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -Nitrogen
mustards (cyclophosphamide{Cytoxin}, ifosfamide{Ifex},
bendamustine{Treanda})
-Platinum-based (cisplatin{Planitol}, carboplatin{Paraplatin}): do not
possess an alkyl group
-nitrosoureas
Nitrosoureas - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -subgroup of alkylating agents
