A serious condition where a patient has a fever and low white blood cell count.

A measure of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, in the blood.

The lowest point of the ANC (absolute neutrophil count).

Drugs that stimulate white blood cell production.

Suppression of bone marrow function, leading to lower blood cell counts.

Steps taken to prevent infections in patients with low white blood cells.

Actions to stop or limit infections in patients especially with low WBC.

Unwanted side effects of treatments that may affect various parts of the body.

CAUTION US: Change in bowel/bladder habits, A sore that doesn't heal, Unusual bleeding/discharge, Thickening or lump, Indigestion or swallowing problems, Obvious change in mole, Nagging cough or hoarseness, Unexplained anemia, Sudden unexplained weight loss.

Classifying cancer by its extent (TNM). Stage 0: carcinoma in situ; Stage I: local; Stage II: limited spreading; Stage III: regional; Stage IV: metastasis to other organs.

Normal cell division for growth and repair, where DNA replicates and each of the 2 new daughter cells has a genetically identical copy of parent cell’s DNA.

Programmed cell death.

Benign tumors do not spread to other tissues or organs; malignant tumors do. Malignant tumors grow quickly, cause death, and spread.

Men should perform monthly self-exams, preferably after a warm shower.

Women should perform monthly breast self-exams, performed 7-10 days after menses.

Crucial for successful cancer treatment. Includes infection prevention strategies and medication adherence.

Treatment of cancer using high-energy radiation to damage or destroy cancer cells.

Surgery is the main treatment for bone cancer. It often involves limb-sparing surgery, but sometimes amputation is necessary. Chemotherapy and radiation are also used to kill cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

Chemotherapy given BEFORE surgery to shrink the tumor.

Chemotherapy given AFTER surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

Cancer happens when genes mutate, causing cells to grow and divide uncontrollably.

A hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol, often due to a tumor in the pituitary gland.

A surgical procedure to remove a tumor from the pituitary gland through the nose.

A non-invasive treatment that uses high doses of radiation to destroy a tumor from multiple angles.

Medications used to treat Cushing's disease by slowing down the production of prolactin.

Medications that slow down the production of growth hormone, helping manage Cushing's disease.

Managing symptoms like shortness of breath, pain, nausea, and chemotherapy side effects.

Treatment is multimodal (various methods), determined by cancer type (NSCLC, Oat Cell, etc.) and stage (I, II, III, IV).

Using drugs to kill cancer cells, treatment plan length depends on patient tolerance and response.
