Name type of imaging, endoscopy & biopsy for complete blood count labs -
ANSWER: CT scans, Bronchoscopy, Breast biopsy
Blood protein testing (imaging, endoscopy, biopsy) - ANSWER: MRI, Colonoscopy,
bone marrow biopsy
tumor marker test (imaging, endoscopy, biopsy) - ANSWER: x-rays, cystoscopy,
organ/tissue-specific
circulating tumor cell tests - ANSWER: nuclear medicine scans & laparoscopy
Curative surgery - ANSWER: Removal of the cancerous tumor when confined to a
specific body location.
Often used in conjunction with other treatments such as radiation and/or
chemotherapy
pallative surgery - ANSWER: performed to treat the problems that the cancer or
treatment of cancer has created
prophylactic surgery - ANSWER: To remove tissues that are not cancerous but can
become cancerous
diagnostic surgery - ANSWER: performed to determine if cancer cells are present
reconstruction/restorative surgery - ANSWER: performed following treatment to
restore the patient's body function such as breast reconstruction following a
mastectomy
Pre-operative care (nursing care) - ANSWER: ensure necessary tests are performed
such as blood work, EKG and chest x-ray and ensure patient has remained NPO
(nothing by mouth) for the required time frame
Education (nursing care) - ANSWER: patient ed. regarding the type of procedure,
post-operative management to include any restrictions, wound care, S&S of
infection, medication, follow-up treatment, and follow up appointments
Nutrition (nursing care) - ANSWER: ensure pt has consult for the dietitian to assess
nutritional and cultural needs
Pain control (nursing care) - ANSWER: ensure adequate pain control by assessing a
pt's level of pain frequently and administering the prescribed medications
, Internal radiation therapy - ANSWER: radiation treatment in which the radiation is
placed inside the body in a solid or liquid form
external radiation therapy - ANSWER: radiation therapy that is site specific to the

radiation implants - ANSWER: place pt in private room, maintain bedrest, never
touch implants should they become dislodged, utilize contact precautions when
handling linens & bodily fluids.
radiation enteritis - ANSWER: common side effect of RT. ensure patient is consuming
low-fat diet and administer medication to treat nausea and diarrhea
Alkylating agents chemotherapy - ANSWER: keeps cells from duplicating damaged
DNA
Antimetabolites chemotherapy - ANSWER: interfere with DNA and RNA growth
Anti-tumor antibiotics chemotherapy - ANSWER: change the DNA to keep it from
multiplying
Topoisomerase inhibitors chemotherapy - ANSWER: separates the strands of DNA to
enable them to be copied
Mitotic inhibitor chemotherapy - ANSWER: stops cells from dividing
3 goals of treatments - ANSWER: cure, control, & palliation
Cure - ANSWER: goal is to destroy cancer
Control - ANSWER: goal is to shrink or prevent further growth of the tumor
