Across
  1. 4. targeted therapy
  2. 5. type of cancer that has uncontrolled production of WBCs in bone marrow
  3. 6. Tumor cells are poorly differentiated, but the tissue of origin can usually be established
  4. 7. antimitotic/mitosis inhibitors
  5. 9. no regional lymph node metastasis
  6. 12. description of cancer cells by chromosome number and appearance
  7. 13. reduced WBC numbers and leaves patient prone to infections
  8. 14. chronic blood cancer that affects the bone marrow, causing it to produce too many red blood cells. Fatal if untreated
  9. 15. antimetabolite
  10. 17. treatment regimen for patient's who are intolerant of cytotoxic therapy
  11. 18. determines the exact location of the cancer and whether metastasis has occurred
  12. 21. regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
  13. 22. type of prevention that greatly reduces cancer deaths but does not prevent cancer
  14. 24. monoclonal antibodies therapy
  15. 26. blood stem cells are prevented from maturing
  16. 27. more closely resemble the tissue form which they arose
  17. 29. type of myeloma that is smoldering
  18. 30. the seven warning signs of cancer
  19. 32. determines how similar the cancer cells look to the parent cells
  20. 35. grade cannot be determined
  21. 36. acute side effect of chemotherapy, high risk for clotting and bleeding
  22. 38. alkylating agent
  23. 40. antitumor antibiotic
  24. 41. occurs when cancer cells move from the primary location and establish remote tumors
  25. 43. internal radiation therapy
  26. 44. the original group of cancer cells caused by carcinogenesis
Down
  1. 1. type of malignant lymphoma
  2. 2. condition of patient until the isotope has been completely eliminated
  3. 3. barely resemble the mature tissue from which the cells arose
  4. 8. radiation delivered from a source outside of the patient
  5. 9. type of precautions that help prevent infection
  6. 10. No evidence of primary tumor
  7. 11. begins with loss of cellular regulation
  8. 16. develops due to tumor lysis syndrome
  9. 19. still retain some of the characteristics of normal cells but also have more malignant characteristics
  10. 20. leukemia where the blood stem cells partially develop and is slow growing

  16. 34. this grade is considered a low grade of malignant change
  17. 36. carcinoma in situ
  18. 37. used to kill cancer cells and disrupt their cellular regulation
  19. 39. increasing involvement of regional lymph nodes
  20. 42. Increasing size and/or local extent of the primary tumor
