CSO EXAM COMPLETE QUESTIONS
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS {
GRADED A+}
Ageusia - ✔✔Loss or absence of the sense of taste
Allogenic marrow transplantation - ✔✔Transfer of marrow from donor
to another person who is not genetically identical
Antineoplastic agents - ✔✔Chemical agents (cytotoxics, immuniologic
preparations, hormones) or meds used to prevent the development,
maturation or spread of neoplastic cells
antioxidants - ✔✔molecules (ie. vitamins) that blcok action of activated
oxygen molecules (free radicals) that can demage cells
,antologous marrow transplantation - ✔✔transfer of marrow from the
pt's own tissue (from hematopietic stem cells)
cancer cachexia - ✔✔wt loss, anorexia, wasting, immunosuppression,
altered BMR, abnormalitis in fluid & energy metabolism, lessening of
the body's fat & muscle stores that accompanies advanced CA even with
adequate nutrition.
carcinogen - ✔✔an agent (physical, chemical, or viral) that induces CA
carcinogenesis - ✔✔the origin or development of CA, a multistage,
biological process that proceeds on a continuum but is often described in
stages of initiation, promotion and progression
cytokines - ✔✔protein mediators produced by inflammatory cells in
response to exogenous stimuli, produce metabolic changes & wating
dysgeusia - ✔✔impaired taste
graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) - ✔✔a dz caused by the immune
response of histoincompatible, immunocompetent donor cells against the
,tissues of an immunoincompetent host; an immuniologic reaction of
allogeneic donor cells (graft) reacting against the pt (host) tissues
evidenced by icterus & abnormal liver functions, severe /secretory
diarrhea - may need total bowel rest --> isomotic, low residue, lactose-
free diet --> solids with low lactose, fiber, fat & acideity, gastric irritants
--> regular diet
- usually 3 onths after transplant (but may be 7-10 days post)
hypogeusia - ✔✔decreased taste acuity
initiation - ✔✔the initial stage of tumorigenesis, involving
transformation of cellular DNA
malignant neoplasm - ✔✔mass of CA cells that invades surrounding
tissues or spreads to distant areas of body
metastasis - ✔✔growth of malignant tissue that spreads to surrounding
tissue or organs
myelosuppression - ✔✔suppression of bone marrow cell production
, neutropenia - ✔✔a reduction of WBC (neutrophils) that can be caused
by chemo or XRT, results in increased susceptibility to life-threatening
infections
pancytopenia - ✔✔a reduction in all cellular elements of the blood
phytochemicals - ✔✔nonutritive compounds in plants though to
influence the process of tumorigenesis
progression - ✔✔the phase in which tumor cells aggregate, grow
autonomously and form benign tumors that eventually lead to malignant
phenotype with the capacity for tissue invasion & mets
Promotion - ✔✔The stage of tumorigenesis in which initiated cells are
activated by a promoting agent to multiply and form a discrete tumor
radiation-induced enteritis - ✔✔a condition of inflammation that can
occur after XRT to the GI tract & that leads to diarrhea & malabsorption
staging - ✔✔a classification system known as TNM that is used to
identify the "extent" of the tumor: its size, the degree of growth &
