In a Cervical Cancer screening program, 500 asymptomatic women were examined using the Pap smear test. 200 of the women who truly had lesions were correctly classified; 14 with lesions were wrongly classified as negative. 253 women who had no lesions were correctly classified; 33 women with no lesions were wrongly reported as positive. (A) Summarise the information provided in an appropirate table. (B) Based on the information above, calculate the Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative Predictive Values of the Pap smear test.
Skin cancer carries a lifetime risk nearly equal to that of allother cancers combined. Following is a graph [modified fromK. H. Kraemer (1997). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 94:11–14]depicting the age of onset of skin cancers in patients with orwithout XP, where the cumulative percentage of skin cancer is plotted against age. The non-XP curve is based on 29,757 cancerssurveyed by the National Cancer Institute, and the curverepresenting those with XP is based on 63 skin cancers from theXeroderma Pigmentosum Registry.
You’re researching the effect of two drugs (Drug A and Drug B) on colon carcinoma cells in vitro. You begin by performing an assay to determine the effect of the drugs on cell viability and generate the data below in the graph below (A). With the aim of determining the mechanism of action of the drugs, you subsequently investigate levels of several key apoptotic proteins via SDS-PAGE and Western blot (B). To measure cytochrome C, you first separate the mitochondrial fragments from the cytosolic fragments and measure the levels of cytochrome C in each. You measure the remaining proteins using whole-cell lysates. B-Actin was included as a loading control. This data is represented on the right below. Part 1 Which drug is most likely inducing apoptosis? Explain your reasoning with referent to the cellular events that have taken place in response to the drugs, based on the data Part 2 Is it possible to determine from this data I the activation of apoptosis is occurring through the intrinsic…
A 42-year-old woman comes to the physician for a follow-up examination after two separate Pap smears have shown dysplastic epithelial cells. Results of a molecular diagnostic test show DNA that encodes high-risk versions of the human papillomavirus E6 and E7 proteins. The viral E6 protein binds to the cellular p53 tumor suppressor gene, causing it to be degraded. Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which the E6 protein causes cervical cancer? (A) Arrests the cell cycle (B) Enhances tissue invasion and metastasis (C) Inhibits telomerase expression (D) Prevents apoptosis (E) Sustains angiogenesis

Distinguish between What is known of CD105 (endoglin) as an hepatcellular carcinoma marker and it’s potential as a drug target. Discuss: - Is anything known about its biology? E.g does it have known ligands and normal functions? - if you were to target it would you just use it to get growth inhibiting compound into the new blood vessels or is CD105 required for neovascularization?
