Patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are being treated with radiation therapy are at
risk for oral mucositis. Application of soothing ointments for dryness of the lips, using a soft
nylon toothbrush, oral baking soda rinses and moistening food with sauces or gravies are all
appropriate teaching points for patients undergoing radiation therapy to the head and neck.
Which chromosome is associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Chromosome 7
Philadelphia chromosome
Chromosome 13
P53 The Philadelphia chromosome is present in nearly all CML cases and is detected by
cytogenetic analysis. In only 5-10% of CML cases is the Philadelphia chromosome absent.
Chromosome 7 is linked to leukemias, lymphomas and MDS syndrome. Chromosome 13 is
linked to retinoblastoma and other types of cancer. P53 is a tumor suppressor protein
A patient presents with a new diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer. In the patient's medical
record you learn that the tumor in the right lung is 4 cm x 6 cm and has invaded the visceral
, pleura. There is evidence of metastases in the mediastinal and subcarinal nodes as well as distant
metastasis in the liver. Based on TNM staging, you realize that the patient has which stage of
non-small cell lung cancer?
Stage 2
Stage 3a
Stage 3b
Stage 4 Stage 4
The TNM system for cancer staging outlined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer
(AJCC) assesses three basic components: size of the primary tumor, absence or presence of
regional lymph nodes and the absence or presence of distant metastatic disease. Any evidence of
distant metastasis per TNM staging would classify the cancer as stage 4.
Which of the following is an example of a "B symptom" associated with lymphoma?
