Please, I need help. 1. YOU ARE WORKING WITH A NEW DRUG TO TREAT BREAST TUMORS. PRESENT AN OUTLINE OF THE STEPS YOU WOULD CARRY OLUT IN PRECLINICAL TESTING. WHAT ASPECTS OF DRUG ACTIVITY AGAINST THE TUMOR CAN BE ADDRESSED: IN MONOLAYER CULTURE? IN MUTICELLULAR TUMOR SPHEROID CULTURE? WHAT TYPES OF COMPLEX TISSUE CULTURE ENVIRONMENTS MAY ALSO BE USEFUL FOR DRUG TESTING?
Surgery remains a mainstay in the treatment of many forms of cancer, but it is no longer used in diagnosis due to the risks associated with surgery and improved nonsurgical diagnostic methods. True False
2. An 82-year-old male is admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of a constant, dull back pain. Labora- tory tests are conducted and show an elevated alkaline phosphatase level. The patient spends several weeks in the hospital and he dies several weeks later. An autopsy shows his vertebra contain nodular lesions. What is the probable diagnosis? a. b. Where is the primary site for the pathology? What are the common cancers that metastasize to the bone? С.
genetics course 2. Describe why PARP inhibitors are considered targeted therapies (affecting only cancer cells and not healthy cells)? Describe their mechanism of action.
Pathophysiology: chapter 7: Neoplasia Jane Foster [JF] is a 26-year-old woman in the clinic today for her annual physical examination. As the nurse performs the initial physical assessment, it becomes apparent the client is quite concerned about her risk for developing breast cancer. Her mother and a maternal aunt both developed breast cancer in their late 40s. JF “heard that genetic testing can be done” to see whether she carries “breast cancer genes.” The nurse knows JF is asking about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation genes. What additional information could the nurse share with JF? 1.Explain the role mutation genes have in the genetic mechanisms of breast cancer development.
CASE STUDY Cancer-killing bacteria Ralph, a 57-year-old man, was diagnosed with colon cancer.His oncologist discussed the use of radiation andchemotherapy as treatments, both of which can causedebilitating side effects. Ralph decided to explore other optionsand went to a cancer clinic. He learned that researchers in asynthetic biology program were testing the use of geneticallymodified bacterial cells designed to selectively invade specifictumors and kill cancer cells, with no effects on normal cells.Ralph decided to participate and was informed that he wouldbe part of a phase III trial, comparing the effects of the modifiedbacterial cell treatment against conventional chemotherapy.However, as part of the trial, he would be randomly assigned toreceive one or the other treatment. He was disappointed to learnthis, because he assumed that he would receive the bacterialtherapy.Question: Informed consent is legally and ethically required beforesomeone participates in a clinical trial.…
1. What are tumor antigens? What are tumor proto- oncogenes and tumor suppressors? What are the functions of p53 and BRCA1/2? What are the four types of cancer immunotherapies, and the underlying rationale?
F. Written Response 1. If gene transcription is inhibited after fertilization, development past the two-cell stage does not take place in the mouse. However, in frog embryos, this treatment does not disrupt development until late cleavage. Explain this difference. 2. Twist transcription factors (TF) play key roles in embryonic development and are largely undetectable in normal adult tissues; however, their expression is reactivated during tumor progression and correlates with invasive and metastatic lesions. Transcription of the Twist gene is activated by Wnt signals and the Twist TF represses the gene for E-cadherin. Answer the following questions as briefly as possible, based on what was presented in class, not an internet search (complex answers that go beyond class material may lose points) a. Outline the steps from the Wnt signal to the E-cadherin gene (inclusive); e.g., A → B → C (with some clarifications such as "binds to", "activates", "represses") b. What are the normal…
Answer Nursing 1.1 Is there a possibility that by manipulating the microenvironment, we could disrupt the signals controlling the phenotype of cancer (stem?) cells.?
35) A study is conducted to evaluate the overall impact of prostate-specific antigen testing as a screening tool for prostate cancer in otherwise investigators have data on rates of cancer and all-cause mortality and prostate cancer-specific mortality. An analysis of mortality (including impotence and urinary incontinence), and the psychological impact of screening (including anxiety and sleeplessness) is of utilities associated with these outcomes, and the investigators use the data to determine the probabilities associated with the various best outcome measures to use in this study? Case-specific mortality Quality-adjusted life years Risk-adjusted mortality Standardized mortality ratio Years of potential life lost
