Disease prevention strategies for cancer proper
protection when unavoidable, breast-feed infants exclusively for first six
months, engage in physical activity or exercise.
Age, race, genetic predisposition, exposure to chemicals/tobacco/alcohol, exposure
to certain viruses and bacteria, diet high in fat/red-meat and low in fiber, sun and UV
Risk factors for cancer light or radiation exposure, sexual lifestyles, poverty/obesity/chronic a GERD, chronic
disease.
Liver cancer is related to Infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C
Human t-cell leukemia virus is related to Lymphoma and leukemia
Infection with HIV Increases risk of _______ and Lymphoma and leukemia.
_______
Highest incidence of cancer in older adult Colorectal, breast, lung, pancreatic, ovarian
women
Highest incidence of cancer in older adult Lung, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, gastric
men

Used to stage cancer. TNM diagnostic notation of the staging system is NOT used to
indicate response of a tumor to medication therapy regimen used for treatment.
Example: A nurse is reviewing diagnostic notation on a patient's pathology
Tumor node metastasis system (TNM) report who has ovarian cancer: T2-N3-MX. indicates that the tumor is 4 cm in size
involving the ovary and adjacent tissue. T2 designation describes the size and
extent of the ovarian tumor using the TNM staging system
Factors that relate to worse prognosis for Low socioeconomic status, lack of access to healthcare, reluctance to seek
minority populations treatment
Risk for weight loss and anorexia. Lab values will include albumin, ferritin, transferrin.
Have client keep a food diary, encouraged toothbrushing before and after
meals,
Malnutrition
and assess laboratory test report of ferritin. Oral hygiene before and after
meals promote increased salivation and improves clients taste perception.
Ferritin is an indicator of protein intake of a client with malnutrition due to
cancer.
T cells in body attack normal cells rather than cancer swans resulting in changes
and neurological function (movement, sensation, mental function). Management
Paraneoplastic syndrome includes minimizing immune system response via steroids, immune factors,
plasmapheresis,
irradiation.
Occurs when excessive levels of antidiuretic hormone's are produced.
Antidiuretic hormone's help kidneys and body conserve correct amount of water.
This syndrome causes the body to retain water resulting in dilution of electrolytes
in blood.
Commonly associated with lung and brain cancers. Findings include nausea and
vomiting early on, hostility, seizures, and coma. Nursing actions include monitoring
client for hyponatremia and low serum osmolality, administer furosemide or
hypertonic sodium chloride as prescribed, monitor vital signs and serum sodium as
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic Lasix promote sodium excretion in hypertonic sodium chloride can cause fluid
hormone(SIADH) overload
LOW URINE OUTPUT IS EXPECTED
Client reporting headache and/or nausea could indicate cerebral edema- report
immediately
Common complication of breast, lung, head, neck cancers; leukemias and
