Question 1

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Used to prevent allergic reactions to other agents

Accepted Answer

Hormones are sometimes used in cancer treatment to prevent allergic reactions to other agents, as they can modulate the immune response.

Question 2

Match the corresponding term with its definition.
-Reduction in red blood cells

Accepted Answer

Anemia is the condition characterized by a reduction in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, leading to decreased oxygen transport.

Question 3

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Includes monoclonal antibodies and interferons

Accepted Answer

Biological therapies include monoclonal antibodies and interferons, which are used to enhance the body's natural defenses to fight cancer.

Question 4

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-May be implanted, injected or attached to MABs for targeted treatment

Accepted Answer

Radioactive isotopes can be used in cancer treatment by being implanted, injected, or attached to monoclonal antibodies (MABs) for targeted therapy, delivering radiation directly to cancer cells.

Question 5

Antineoplastic

Accepted Answer

Antineoplastic agents are drugs used to treat cancer, specifically by acting against new tissue formation, which is a characteristic of cancerous growths.

Question 6

Match the corresponding term with its definition.
-Reduction in platelets

Accepted Answer

Thrombocytopenia is the term used to describe a reduction in the number of platelets in the blood, which are essential for blood clotting.

Question 7

Cytotoxic:

Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic refers to substances or processes that are toxic to cells, leading to cell damage or cell death.

Question 8

The administration of chemotherapy includes ___________.

Accepted Answer

Chemotherapy treatment is often modified and individualized based on the patient's response to ensure effectiveness and manage side effects.

Question 9

Match the corresponding term with its definition.
-Reduction in white blood cells

Accepted Answer

Leukopenia is the term that specifically refers to a reduction in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood, which can affect the body's ability to fight off infections.

Question 10

Immunosuppressive

Accepted Answer

Immunosuppressive agents or actions decrease the production of antibodies, thereby reducing the immune response.

Question 11

Palliative

Accepted Answer

Palliative care focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, rather than curing the disease itself.

Question 12

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Dose-limited, used in wide variety of malignancies

Accepted Answer

The answer of Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major...

Question 13

Match the corresponding term with its definition.
-Reduction in all blood cells

Accepted Answer

Pancytopenia is the term used to describe the reduction in the number of all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Question 14

Proliferating

Accepted Answer

Proliferating means to increase rapidly in numbers; thus, "Reproducing rapidly" is the correct definition.

Question 15

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Plant alkaloid

Accepted Answer

Mitotic inhibitors are a class of drugs that includes plant alkaloids. These agents work by inhibiting mitosis (cell division) and are used in cancer treatment because they can target rapidly dividing cancer cells.

Question 16

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Less harmful to normal cells includes signal transduction inhibitors

Accepted Answer

Targeted cancer therapies, including signal transduction inhibitors, are designed to specifically target cancer cells, making them generally less harmful to normal cells compared to other types of antineoplastic agents.

Question 17

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Rapidly proliferating neoplasms

Accepted Answer

Antimetabolites are most effective against rapidly proliferating neoplasms because they interfere with DNA and RNA growth by substituting for the normal building blocks of RNA and DNA, thereby inhibiting their growth. This makes them particularly effective against fast-growing cancer cells.

Question 18

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Interfere with the DNA of a cancer cell

Accepted Answer

Alkylating agents interfere with the DNA of a cancer cell by forming covalent bonds with DNA bases, leading to DNA damage and cell death.

Question 19

Antineoplastic agents are classified into nine major categories.Match the category with the corresponding label or characteristic of each.
-Preventive and therapeutic types; boost natural immunity against infectious agents

Accepted Answer

Vaccines are preventive and therapeutic agents that boost natural immunity against infectious agents.

Question 20

Chemotherapy administration involves ____________.

Accepted Answer

Chemotherapy administration involves an intermittent schedule, meaning that it is given in cycles with periods of rest in between. This allows the body to recover from the side effects of treatment.
