Study Notes
Cancer Cell Cycle
- G1 phase: cell enlarges and synthesizes proteins to prepare for cell division
- De-differentiation: regression of a cell to an immature or undifferentiated cell type
Cancer Development
- Carcinogenesis: process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells
- Loss of DNA control over differentiation: occurs in response to adverse conditions
Cancer Characteristics
- Uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells
- Loss of differentiation: characterizes cancer cells
Tumor Grading and Staging
- TNM stands for Tumor, Node, Metastasis
- TNM system determines the size of the tumor and the existence of local invasion and distant metastasis
- Cancer in situ: cancer that remains at the site of origin
- Category "N" in the TNM system: gives detail about nodal involvement
- TNM classification with the poorest prognosis: M1 (distant metastasis)
- Stage IV cancer: called metastatic cancer and means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body beyond where the cancer started
Cancer Types
- Cancer that begins in the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, connective or supportive tissue: sarcoma
- Cancer that begins in the tissue of brain and spinal cord: central nervous system cancer
Carcinogenesis
- Mutation: a permanent change in DNA nucleotide sequence, arises spontaneously from a mutagen
- 3 stages of Carcinogenesis: initiation, promotion, and progression
Cancer Complications
- Primary cause of death in patients with cancer: metastasis
- Most common site for cancer caused by smoking: lung
Cancer Prevention and Treatment
- Nurse teaching patient ways to prevent cancer: patient response indicates need for more teaching if they don't understand the importance of prevention
- Diet for patient undergoing chemotherapy: high-calorie, high-protein diet
- Effect of chemotherapy on cells: kills cancer cells
- Adverse effect of intravesical bladder chemotherapy: bladder irritation
Cancer and the Immune System
- Immune response that plays a dominant role in resisting tumor growth: cell-mediated immunity
Oncologic Emergencies
- Oncologic emergency: tumor lysis syndrome (characterized by hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperkalemia, and hypocalcemia)
Cancer Warning Signs
- Mnemonic for cancer warning signs: CAUTION
- Cancer that would not be clinically staged: brain cancer
- Benign and malignant neoplasms: benign neoplasms do not invade surrounding tissue, whereas malignant neoplasms do
