Colorectal cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Liver, lungs
Testicular cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Lungs, liver, brain
Prostate cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Bones (especially
lumbar spine), liver
Breast cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Bones, lung, liver,
brain
Head and neck cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Lymphatics,
liver, bones
Sarcoma site of metastasis? - correct answer - Lungs
, Page |2
Melanoma site of metastasis? - correct answer - Lymphatics, lung, liver,
brain, GI
Origin of cancer from adeno? - correct answer - Glandular Epithelial
TNM Staging System - correct answer - T= tumor spread
TX= main tumor not measured
T0= tumor cannot be found
T1=T4=size or extent of main tumor. Higher the number, larger it is
N= node involvement
NX= cannot be measured
N0=no cancer in lymph nodes
N1-N3= number of lymph nodes. Higher the number, the more lymph
nodes that contain cancer
M= presence of metastasis
MX=cannot be measured
M0=cancer has not spread to other parts of body
M1=Cancer has spread to other parts of body

BRCA gene - correct answer - Increases risk for developing ovarian,
breast, and prostate cancer
Paraneoplastic syndromes - correct answer - Triggered by cancer but aren't
caused directly from a tumor/mass. Commonly caused by hormones
released by a tumor or an immune response triggered by a tumor.
*May be earliest S/S of unknown cancer*
Cachexia - correct answer - Imbalance between amount of energy intake
vs. energy used. Wasting syndrome = catabolic process. Increase in
apoptosis and impaired ability to regenerate cells.
Necrosis - correct answer - Cell death, irreversible cell injury.
Ovarian cancer site of metastasis? - correct answer - Peritoneal surfaces,
omentum (fold of peritoneum connecting the stomach with other abdominal
organs), *liver*
The increased NADH/NAD+ ratio in the liver from ethanol causes: - correct
answer - 1. Pyruvate --> lactic acid, causing lactic acidosis
2. Oxaloacetate --> malate. This prevents gluconeogenesis and leads to
hypoglycemia
3. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate --> glycerol 3- phosphate and combines
with fatty acids to form triglycerides in the liver, known as hepatosteatosis
