What are the differences between DNA and RNA?
• DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid – Double Helix – 2 chains of nucleotides. – Four bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine – A pairs with T and C pairs with G • RNA: Ribonucleic Acid – Is typically single stranded – Is needed for protein synthesis and DNA replication. – Four bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Uracil – A pairs with U and G pairs with C
What type of mutation has no impact on the DNA sequence? What type of mutation which change a DNA sequence and often impact the associated function?
- Silent mutations
- Missense mutations
What is a type of cancer/tumor that has spread from the primary site of origin into different area(s) of the body? A mutation in ________ allows cancer cells to continue growing and accumulating, forming a tumor.
- Metastatic cancer/tumor.
- A mutation in a tumor suppressor gene
What are some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, oral cancer? Most often these symptoms are caused by other, less serious medical problems, but if any symptoms last for _________ weeks or longer, you should begin to be suspicious?
A mouth sore that doesn’t heal, an area in your mouth that becomes discolored and stays that way, a lump or thickening in your cheek that doesn’t go away, a sore throat that doesn’t go away, voice changes, numbness in your tongue or another part of your mouth, pain or irritation in the mouth that doesn’t go away, unexplained weight loss, swelling in your jaw, the constant feeling that something is caught in your throat.
- Two weeks or longer
What are the 6 stages of tumor portion of the (TNM) system? *(Chart)
• Primary Tumor (T):
– T 0 or T is: - Carcinoma in situ.
• An early stage cancer, meaning that the disease is still localized, or contained within the top layers of cells lining the oral cavity and oropharynx.
• Cancer cells have not invaded the deeper layers of oral or oropharyngeal tissue.
– T1: tumor is 2 cm across or
smaller.
– T2: tumor is larger than 2 cm
across, but smaller than 4 cm.
– T3: tumor is larger than 4 cm
across.
– T4 is divided into two subgroups
• T4a: the tumor is growing into nearby structures. At this stage, the oral cancer is called a moderately advanced local disease. – The areas to which cells have spread vary according to the type of oral cancer.
• T4b: the tumor has grown through nearby structures and into deeper areas or tissues. – At this stage, the cancer is called very advanced local disease.
What are the 5 stages of regional lymph node portion of the (TNM) system? *(Chart)
– N1: the cancer has spread to one lymph
node on the same side of the head or neck
as the primary tumor. – This lymph node is smaller than 3 cm.
• N2a: the oral cancer has spread to one
lymph node on the same side as the primary
tumor, and the lymph node measures 3–6
cm across.
• N2b: the oral cancer has spread to 2 or
more lymph nodes on the same side as the
primary tumor. No lymph nodes are larger
than 6 cm across.
• N2c: the oral cancer has spread to one or
more lymph nodes on both sides of the neck
or on the side opposite the primary tumor.
No lymph nodes are larger than 6 cm
across.
- N3: the cancer has spread to a lymph node
that measures more than 6 cm across.
across.
What are the 2 stages of the distant metastasis portion of the (TNM) system? *(Chart)
– M0 – No metastasis
– M1 – The oral cancer has spread to distant sites outside the head and neck region (for example, the lungs, liver or bones).
What is the difference between ‘n’ and ‘N’ in genetics?
- Ploidy (n): Refers to the number of full, single set(s) of chromosomes in a cells
nucleus, not including duplicated DNA set(s) in the nucleus. - N number: Refers to the number of full, single set(s) of chromosomes including duplicated DNA sets in the nucleus.
