Risk factors for developing cancer - (answer)age, smoking, infectious agents,
genetic risks, radiation, carcinogens, nutrition, physical activity, access to
resources, socioeconomic status, social determinants of health, insurance
significance of cell differentiation in cancer - (answer)cells differentiate in order to
acquire a specific cell function and become a more specialized type of cell
well differentiated cancer cells look less similar to advanced cells of tissue of
origin, meaning neoplasm is more advanced
undifferentiated cancer cells look more similar to advanced cells of tissue of origin,
neoplasm is less advanced
impact of free radicals on cell regulation and tissue damage - (answer)free radicals
are caused by: ischemia with acidosis, radiation, cellular aging, chronic
inflammation, hyperglycemia
impact of free radicals: damages cell membranes, damages DNA nucleic acids
,primary cancer prevention - (answer)reduction of risk factors in individuals and
populations
secondary cancer prevention - (answer)application of a test to a population that has
no overt signs or symptoms of the disease in question in order to detect disease at a

benign tumors - (answer)not cancerous
characteristics of benign tumors - (answer)tends to retain most of the morphologic
