Practice questions for this set
Learn 1 /7 Study using Learn
oncologic emergency; electrolyte imbalance that occurs as a result of rapid
breakdown of a large number of tumor cells; it occurs when where there is a
rapid release of intracellular metabolites that exceeds the excretory capacity
of the kidneys
hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, hypocalcemia
Choose an answer
1 apoptosis 2 pharmacogenetics
3 tumor suppression genes 4 tumor lysis syndrome
Don't know?
, Terms in this set (103)
apoptosis natural cell death
cell death that results from an insult, such as a lack of
blood supply, physical trauma, or cytotoxic therapy
necrosis
that leads to rupture of the cell membrane and
spilling of cell contents
cells that do not have a finite number of cell divisions
as normal cells do; lost the ability to undergo
malignant cells
apoptosis; can keep replicating and dividing
indefinitely
aberrant cell division the primary characteristic of malignant cells
these keep normal cellular growth in check by
regulating cell division, DNA repair, and apoptosis; if
tumor suppression genes
damaged or absent, cells lack the appropriate
growth-inhibiting signals and grow out of control
the period of time after a course of chemotherapy in
nadir
which the patients blood counts are lowest
the first layer of defense that provides protective
physical barrier immunity through anatomic barriers; ex. skin, mucous
membranes
the second layer of defense that provides rapid,
innate passive immunity
nonspecific response to invading pathogens
adaptive acquired the third layer of defense
immunity
a characteristic feature or byproduct of a tumor cell
tumor marker that serves as a useful indication of tumor cell origin
or tumor activity
allows for tailoring therapy after consideration of
risk stratification factors beyond those traditional staging systems; this
approach allows for early intensification of treatment
