Neoadjuvant Guides d'étude, Notes de cours & Résumés

Neoadjuvant therapy does not increase survival when compared to adjuvant therapy. It only changes the timing of treatment and can change surgical options if the tumor is shrunk enough. If this occurs, the patient may only require a lumpectomy plus radiation therapy instead of needing a mastectomy Correct Answer Main benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (breast cancer patient) A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidisciplinary evaluation to assess life expectancy and risk of morb...

3 major phases of cell division: - ANSWER Interphase Mitotic phase Cytokinesis 3 steps of interphase: - ANSWER First growth phase (G1) Synthesis phase (S phase) Second growth phase (G2) 4 phases of mitosis: - ANSWER Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Innate immunity: - ANSWER Non-specific response, either: 1. Barrier (skin, mucous membranes, flora of skin/gut) 2. Cellular components (phagocytes, natural killer cells, granulocytes, macrophages) Adaptive immunity: - ANSWER ...

Define mutations - ANSWER- Variations in the nucleotide sequence of a gene 3 main goals of treatment: - ANSWER- Cure Control Palliation Define neoadjuvant therapy - ANSWER- Treatment is given prior to surgery to shrink the tumor Define adjuvant therapy - ANSWER- Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer reoccur Define conditioning/preparative therapy - ANSWER- Treatments used to prepare a patient for stem cell transplantation 2 types...

Types of Therapy correct answer: Chemoprevention, Adjuvant Therapy, Definitive Therapy, Neoadjuvant Therapy, Palliation, Prophylaxis Therapy Chemoprevention goals and example correct answer: The use of medicines, vitamins, minerals or other agents to reduce the risk of, or delay the development of cancer; Example: hormone therapy (an anti-estrogen agent) prescribed to reduce risk of breast cancer for a woman determined to be at high risk for developing the disease. Adjuvant goals and ...

When chemotherapy is used before primary treatment (surgery) to reduce the size of a solid tumor, it is called what? - Neoadjuvant Therapy Which of the following class of drugs is cell cycle non-specific and therefore can affect the cancer in any phase of the cell cycle? - Alkylating Agents Mutations in genetic material from exposure to chemotherapy are termed? - Genotoxicity The Vinca Alkaloids act in which phase where they prevent cell division? - M Phase Which of the following is likely...
