This is a selective barrier that regulates the flow of materials into and out of a cell.
PLASMA/ CELL MEMBRANE
100
This came from the Latin word which means “crablike”.
CANCER
100
This refers to swelling that can be caused by a number of condition, including inflammation and trauma.
TUMOR
100
Refers to that part of medicine and medical practice that is likely to involve need of a surgical operation.
SURGERY
100
This activity refers to which the cell (macrophages and neutrophils) engulfs large solid particles, such as worn - out cells, whole bacteria, or viruses.
PHAGOCYTOSIS
200
This controls the function and is the mastermind of the cell.
NUCLEUS
200
Are neoplasms which are less - differentiated and have the ability to break loose, enter the circulatory or lymphatic systems, and form secondary tumors at other sites; usually cause suffering and death if untreated or uncontrolled
MALIGNANT
200
This refers to the study of tumors and their treatment/management – surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy (or various combinations as required)?
ONCOLOGY
200
This refers to the second oldest effective form of treatment for cancer that depends upon the sensitivity of dividing cells being destroyed by X - rays or gamma rays emitted from a radioactive source.
RADIATION THERAPY/ RADIOTHERAPY
200
Are partially differentiated cells capable of division which are reserve source for specialized cells throughout the life of the organism, thus making regeneration possible in some tissues.
STEM CELLS
300
This is the fluid portion of cytoplasm, which contains water, dissolved solutes, and suspended particles.
CYTOSOL
300
Chronic infection with this organism results in the development of peptic ulcer, which is linked to gastric CA
HELICOBACTER PYLORI
300
Are cell surface molecules expressed by cancer cells, which are immunologically identified as foreign since it is immunologically distinct from those that are expressed by cells of the well – differentiated tissue from which the cancer originated.
ANTIGENS
300
This involves treatment with beams of ionizing radiation produced from a source external to the patient.
TELETHERAPY/ EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY
300
Is an orderly, genetically programmed cell death.
APOPTOSIS
400
These are little organs which include the cytoskeleton, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.
ORGANELLES
400
Are complete carcinogens which causes sunburn and increases the risk for skin cancers especially in fair - skinned individuals due to the limited concentrations of melanin
ULTRAVIOLET RAYS
400
Are antigens that are expressed on the surface of tumor cells or substances released from normal cells in response to the presence of tumor, which are used for screening, diagnosis, establishing prognosis, monitoring treatment and detecting recurrent disease.
TUMOR MARKERS
400
This modality uses cytotoxic agents and is a vital part of the cancer armamentarium, as an adjunct to other treatment modalities such as surgery, radiation and immunotherapy.
CHEMOTHERAPY
400
This type of cancer results from changes in muscle, bone, fat, or connective tissue.
SARCOMA
500
These are cells that undergo a nuclear division called mitosis and a cytoplasmic division called cytokinesisto produce two identical cells, each with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the original cell.
SOMATIC CELLS
500
This is the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells by carcinogenic agents in a multistep process
ONCOGENESIS/ CARCINOGENESIS
500
This refers to a localized pre - invasive lesion, the first stage of cancer in which the malignant tumor is present only in the epithelium, which can be removed surgically or treated so that the chances of recurrence are small.
CARCINOMA IN SITU
500
This refers to the strategy where chemotherapy is given to control symptoms, provide comfort, and improve quality of life if cure is impossible.
PALLIATIVE
500
This refers to the removal of a tissue specimen for microscopic study.
