Caused by abnormal cell growth that may be stimulated by various factors.

Causes of Cancer

Cancers that originate in the bone marrow, lymphatic system, and other cells dealing with blood and immune

Cencers that originate in solid tissues other than the bone marrow, lymphatic system and cells dealing with the blood and immune process

A new abnormal tissue growth that grows more rapidly than normal tissue

A type of neoplasm that may be benign or malignant

Slow growing and unlikely to spread

Fast growing and likely to spread

Process by which normal cells are turned into cancer cells

Any substance directly involved in the promotion of cancer

Suppressor genes protect the cell from abnormal growth and cancer

Genes, that once mutated, can promote the formation of cancer

Certain chemicals and viruses that can permanently change DNA, increase the risk for developing cancer

Examples of physical carcinogens

5 types of Carcinogens

Agent include viruses

The other risk factors for developing cancer

Tumor cells that originate from epithelial tissues Surface of your body and organs like epithelial tissues are large/small intestines, ovaries, epididymis, and larynx

Tumor cells that originate from connective tissues, such as bone and muscle

Tumor cell tissues that include tonsils, lymph nodes, and spleen

Tumor cells associated with diseases like lung and prostate cancers

Blasts

A cancer that arises from a part of the immune system called the plasma cell

Anenocarcinoma and forms in the tissues of the prostrate

Breast cancer is usually..........

A therapy that cannot differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells

A therapy that acts by killing cells both normal and cancerous.

A therapy that slows or suppresses the growth of cancer cells

A therapy that uses hormones to prevent cancer cell growth by "starving" them

A therapy that destroys cancer cells by the use of waves of subatomic particles such as gamma rays or X-rays

Common side effects of cancer medication regimens:

Factors of Chemotherapy

The term that describes how likely a drug is to cause emesis

Damage to the heart tissue

Nerve pain, tingling or burning in the hands and feet

Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the mouth and throat

Damage to the liver

Damage to the kidneys

Closely related to substances required by the cell, block its metabolism and growth

Acts as a folic acid antagonist

Methotrexate

The antidote for Methotrexate - Rheumatrex

Which antineoplastic drug is the only one to have an antidote?

An example of "rational" drug design used for colon and breast cancer

Which drug causes nausea/vomiting and bone marrow depression?

Chlorambucil

LHRH angonists
