Question:
Warning signs of cancer
Answer:
unusual bleeding or discharge anywhere in the body;
change in bowel or bladder habits (e.g., prolonged diarrhea or discomfort);
a change in a wart or mole (i.e., color, size, or shape);
a sore that does not heal (on the skin or in the mouth, anywhere);
unexplained weight loss;
anemia or low hemoglobin, and persistent fatigue;
persistent cough or hoarseness without reason;
a solid lump, often painless, in the breast or testes or anywhere on the body.
,Question:
Local effects of a space-occupying mass on: Compression of blood vessels
Answer:
ischemia, necrosis, and areas of inflammation around the tumor; potential for
infection
Question:
Local effects of a space-occupying mass on: Compression or obstruction of a
tube or duct
Answer:
blockage of secretion or normal flow of air (bronchi), food (GI tract), blood,
or lymph depending on location
Question:
Local effects of a space-occupying mass on: Compression of nerves
Answer:
pain and loss of function
Question:
Local effects of a space-occupying mass on: Erosion of blood vessels and other
structures
Answer:
hemorrhage, inflammation, necrosis
,Question:
Local effects of a space-occupying mass on: Invasion and replacement of
normal tissue
Answer:
loss of normal tissue function
Question:
Factors that contribute to systemic effects of malignant tumors: Weight loss
and cachexia
Answer:
anorexia, fatigue, pain, stress, nutrient trapping, altered metabolism, and
cachectic factors produced by macrophages
Question:
Systemic effects of malignant tumors: Anemia
Answer:
anorexia, decreased appetite and food intake, chronic bleeding, and bone
marrow depression
, Question:
Systemic effects of malignant tumors: Systemic infections
Answer:
host resistance decline; tissue breakdown and diminished immune system
function; immobility
Question:
Systemic effects of malignant tumors: Bleeding
Answer:
local invasion/erosion of blood vessels by tumor; bone marrow depression,
and hypoproteinemia
Question:
paraneoplastic syndrome
Answer:
additional problems associated with certain tumors (e.g., bronchogenic
carcinoma cells producing ACTH, causing manifestations of Cushing
syndrome)
