Study guide Flashcards
optimal treatment of dermoid cyst
cystectomy with only inspection of contralateral ovary
Most important prognostic factor for endometrial, cervical, vulvar and breast cancer is:
node status
hydrops tubae profluens is a classic sign of :
fallopian tube carcinoma
bleomycin MOA
inhibits synthesis of DNA; binds to DNA leading to single and double strand breaks
topotecan
inhibits topoisomerase I - stabilizes the cleavable complex so that religation of cleaved DNA strand cannot occur - S phase of cell cycle
5 fluorouracil MOA
pyrimidine analog antimetabolite that interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis - inhibits thymidylate synthetase
5 fluorouracil adverse reaction
Neutropenia, mucositis, diarrhea, dermatitis
carboplatinum adverse reaction
thrombocytopenia
What is Meig’s syndrome
triad of ovarian fibroma, hydrothorax, ascites
most common sites of ureteral injury
at cardinal ligaments and infundibulopelvic ligaments
Vulvar stage IVb
pelvic nodes, distant mets
Vulvar stage IIIc
with positive nodes with extracapsular spread
most important predictor of local recurrence of vulvar cancer after resection
tissue margin (>8mm on fixed tissue)
doxorubicin adverse effect
cardiotoxicity
vicristine adverse effect
neurotoxicity
How many stages in vulvar cancer?
Ia Ib II IIIa IIIb IIIc IVa IVb
2 plant alkaloids
vincristine
vinblastine
attributes of plain and chromic catgut
intense inflammation, absorbed quickly by phagocytosis
methotrexate MOA
folate antimetabolite that inhibits DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication - inhibits dihydrofolate reductase - cell cycle specific for S phase
dermoid with mostly thyroid tissue, benign
struma ovarii
treatment for vulvar cancer if positive inguinal nodes
adjuvant pelvic radiation
Lugol’s iodine MOA
glycogen stain; negative stain
most superior and medial inguinal node, considered sentinel node for spread to pelvic nodes
Cloquet’s node
BRCA2 on chromosome __
