Blastoma is used to designate cancers derived from immature "precursor" cells or embryonic tissue.
Which statement is incorrect concerning chemotherapy? Chemotherapy drugs target cells at different phases of the process of forming new cells, called the cell cycle. Cancer cells reproduce more slowly than normal cells and this makes them a good target for chemotherapy drugs. Chemo drugs are administered systemically which means normal cells are damaged along with the cancer cells. Using chemo requires a balance between killing the cancer cells and sparing the normal cells.
Cancer cells reproduce more slowly than normal cells and this makes them a good target for chemotherapy drugs.
Which statement is incorrect concerning cancer treatment vaccines? Cancer treatment vaccines are identical to the vaccines that work against viruses. These vaccines try to get the immune system to mount an attack against cancer cells in the body. Cancer treatment vaccines may be made up of cancer cells, parts of cells, or pure antigens. Vaccines are often combined with other substances or cells called adjuvants that help boost the immune response even further.

N0
Which statement is incorrect concerning radiation therapy? It is one of the most common treatments for cancer and can be given alone or used with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells. These breaks keep cancer cells from growing and dividing, and often cause them to die. Nearby normal cells can also be affected by radiation and do not recover to go back to working the way they should. Commonly radiation therapy is a local treatment and it's aimed at and affects only the part of the body being treated. The goal of radiation treatment is to damage cancer cells, with as little harm as possible to nearby healthy cells.
Nearby normal cells can also be affected by radiation and do not recover to go back to working the way they should.
The tumor prefix for nerve is: Lymphangio Lipo Myo Neuro Osteo
Neuro
Which statement is incorrect concerning chemotherapy? Only certain diseases can be treated with chemotherapy. Chemo can work throughout the whole body and has the advantage of treating distant metastatic sites. Chemo can be used to control a cancer by shrinking the tumors and/or stop the cancer from growing and spreading. Chemo can sometimes be palliative. Cancer can be treated with a single chemo drug, but often several drugs are used in a certain order or in certain combinations.
Only certain diseases can be treated with chemotherapy.

Which statement is incorrect concerning immunotherapy? Immunotherapy uses parts of a person's immune system to fight cancer in several ways. Immunotherapy can stimulate the immune system to work harder or smarter to attack cancer cells. It gives the immune system essential components, such as man-made immune system proteins. It gives the immune system essential components, such as man-made immune system proteins. The immune system always recognizes cancer cells as foreign but may have a tougher time targeting cancer cells because the cancer cells aren't different enough from normal cells.

Which statement is incorrect concerning malignant tumors? Are uncontrolled growth of cells. Grow by invasion. Lose their cellular characteristics so that their cell of origin is not able to be determined. The cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. The loss of cellular characteristics is called differentiation.
The loss of cellular characteristics is called differentiation.
Which statement is incorrect concerning alkylating agents? Alkylating agents are a class of chemotherapy drugs that bind to DNA and prevent proper DNA replication. They have chemical groups that can form permanent bonds with DNA. Alkylating agents are used as part of chemotherapy in different types of cancers. These drugs work in only one phase of the cell cycle and are used to treat many different cancers, including cancers of the lung, breast, and ovary as well as leukemia. Because these drugs damage DNA, they can affect the blood forming cells of the bone marrow.
These drugs work in only one phase of the cell cycle and are used to treat many different cancers, including cancers of the lung, breast, and ovary as well as leukemia.
Which statement is incorrect concerning antimetabolites? Antimetabolites interfere with DNA and RNA growth. They substitute abnormal building blocks for the usual building blocks of RNA and DNA. They damage the cell. They make for the production of unhealthy cancer cells. They are commonly used only to treat leukemias, cancers of the breast, ovary, and the intestinal tract and no other type of cancer.
They are commonly used only to treat leukemias, cancers of the breast, ovary, and the intestinal tract and no other type of cancer.
Which statement is incorrect concerning immune checkpoint inhibitors? They are drugs that basically turn off the immune system. They help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. They allow the immune system to attack the foreign cells while leaving the normal cells alone. They use "checkpoints" or molecules on certain immune cells that need to be activated or inactivated to start an immune response.
They are drugs that basically turn off the immune system.
Which statement is incorrect concerning naked monoclonal antibodies? Naked monoclonal antibodies work by themselves. They have a drug or radioactive material attached to them. They can boost a person's immune response against cancer cells by attaching to them and acting as a marker for the body's immune system to destroy them. They work also by attaching to and blocking antigens on cancer cells or other nearby cells that help cancer cells grow or spread.
They have a drug or radioactive material attached to them.
