Health promotion and Scientific Basis Flashcards
(33 cards)
1
Q
Test Strategies
A
- “guarantee/always” is not the answer
- take out the ones absolutely wrong
- Debate over 2 correct answers, re-read and choose correct one
- do T/F w/each question
- If things look the same put your fingers on the words
- Go with the answer you think is right
- General concepts about all instead of all details about everything
2
Q
Cancer incidence
A
- rates continue to rise
- gap btwn incidence/death is widening (more cured than dying)
- Male more than female
- Top: Lung, prostate, breast
- Male: H/N
- Female: Thyroid
- Hereditary disposition: 5-10%
3
Q
Carcinogenesis
A
- Oncogenes: gene w/potential to cause cancer
- protooncogenes: “GAS PEDAL”
- Exposure to factor will cause activation of protoncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (P53=brake)

8
Q
Incidence
Prevalence
Mortality
A

9
Q
Ethical Theory: Utilitarianism
A
overall balance of positive and negative effects of your actions; all actions are considered on the basis of consequences
10
Q
Primary Prevention
Secondary Prevention
Tertiary Prevention
A
- Primary: This could PREVENT the cancer, Ex: Vaccines, exercise, smoking cessation
- Secondary: This could CATCH IT EARLY, ex: mammogram, colonoscopy
- Tertiary: LTFU, SURVIVORSHIP, for people who already had cancer, Ex: maintenance, scans, hormone blocking agent
11
Q
Relative risk
Absolute risk
Attributable risk
Cumulative risk
A
- Relative risk: probability of getting cancer based on the risks
- Absolute risk: Cancer incidence or mortality
- Attributable risk: amount of disease in a population that could be avoided by reducing or eliminating risk
- Cumulative risk: the total amount of risk of developing a disease over time ex: 1in4 men develop prostate their whole life
12
Q
Types of risk factors: Lifestyle Occupational Environmental Viral Iatrogenic
A
- Lifestyle: smoking, alcohol, diet
- Occupational: chemicals
- Environmental: Sun tanning beds, radiation
- Viral: HBV/HCV, HPV, EBV, HIV
- Iatrogenic: Immunosuppression, Hormone replacement, Radiation/Chemo
13
Q
Hereditary cancers: BRCA1&2 HER2 HNPCC FAP (APC gene) Dysplastic Devi Von hippel landau
A
- BRCA1&2: breast ovarian
- HER2: breast, ovarian, GI
- HNPCC: GI, liver, upper urinary, brain, skin, ovary, endometrial
- FAP (APC gene): colon
- Dysplastic Devi: melanoma
- Von hippel landau: cancer in fluid filled sacs
14
Q
Secondary Screening:
Pap smear start
Screening year
Familial history
A
- Pap smear start - sexually active
- Screening year=50yo
- Familial history start screening 10yrs prior
15
Q
Cancer stages: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4
A
- Stage 1: Tumor only, surgery/radiation main tx
- Stage2: Tumor+lymph node, local+systemic therapy “adjuvant: surgery then systemic”
- Stage 3: Tumor+many lymph nodes that drain that organ, reduce tumor first before surgery “neoadjuvant”
- Stage 4: Tumor in other areas, shrink tumor before surgery/Radiation
16
Q
Metastatic sites:
Above diaphragm
Abdominal cancers
A
- Above diaphragm cancers are metastatic ALL OVER
- Abdominal cancers are metastatic to mostly abdominal area
17
Q
Lab tests:
- LDH
- Alk phos
A
- Lab tests monitor the disease, they are mostly prognostic
- LDH: increased is a marker for proliferation
- Alk phos: increased is a marker for bone metastasis
18
Q
Tumor markers: Liquid biopsies CEA HCG AFP CA-125 CA27-29; 15-3 CA9-19 B2M PSA
A
Liquid biopsies: circulating tumor cells CEA: GI HCG: Reproductive AFP: testicular, liver CA-125: Ovarian CA27-29; 15-3: Breast CA9-19: Pancreatic B2M: Lymphocytic PSA: Prostate
19
Q
Diagnostic Imaging: CT MRI PET Bone scan
A
- CT: visualize mass, solid tumors, PE, infection, bleed
- MRI: More dense organs, bone, brain/CNS, abdominal tumors, dense breast
- PET: shows activity, faster growing cancers, lymphoma, esophageal, cancer cells take up contrast and light up scan
- Bone scan: shows bone mets
20
Q
Pain
Somatic
Neuropathic
Visceral
A
Somatic pain
- well localized: aching, throbbing or gnawing
Neuropathic pain
- pain cause by damaged or alteration of
Nervous system
Visceral pain
- not localized
- vague -pain receptors in pelvic, chest, abd or intestine
- feel as deep squeeze pressure or aching
21
Q

Principles of Biomedical Ethics
1. Autonomy
2. Beneficence
3. Nonmaleficence
4. Justice
Autonomy:
INDIVIDUALs have the ability to make decisions consistent with their own values
Beneficence:
Tx should be of BENEFIT to the recipient
NOnmaleficence
AVOIDance or MINimization of harm
JUSTICE:
Fair allocation of healthcare resources based on need and expected outcome
