Question 73 1 / 1 point Which of the following terms means that the tumor has not extended beyond its original site? Question options: A) encapsulated B) remission C) oncogenic D) carcinoma in situ Hide Feedback Carcinoma in situ means that the tumor has not extended beyond its original site. Encapsulated means it is enclosed in a sheath of tissue. Remission means symptom free. Oncogenic means cancer causing. Question 74 1 / 1 point Which of the following terms refers to something that is cancer causing? Question options: A) carcinoma in situ B) remission C) encapsulated D) oncogenic Hide Feedback Oncogenic means cancer causing. Encapsulated means the tumor is enclosed in a sheath of tissue. Carcinoma in situ means the tumor has not extended beyond its original site. Remission means symptom free. Question 75 1 / 1 point Which of the following terms means the spread of cancer to another part of the body? Question options: A) mutation B) mortality C) metastasis D) morbidity Hide Feedback Metastasis is the spread of cancer to another part of the body. Morbidity is the number representing the sick persons in a population. Mortality is the number representing the deaths in a particular population. Mutation is a change from the original. Question 76 1 / 1 point Surgery performed on the abdomen for the purpose of determining if cancer is present is called: Question options: A) a protocol B) a staging laparotomy C) a biopsy D) cytologic testing Hide Feedback A staging laparotomy is to determine if cancer is present. Cytologic testing looks at cells to determine their structure and origin. A biopsy excises a piece of tissue to assist in diagnosis. Protocol is medications, surgeries, and treatments. Question 77 1 / 1 point Examination of cells to determine their structure and origin is called: Question options: A) cytologic testing B) a protocol C) a staging laparotomy D) a biopsy Hide Feedback Cytologic testing looks at cells to determine their structure and origin. A staging laparotomy is done on the abdomen to determine the extent and staging of a tumor. A biopsy is an excision of a small piece of tissue for examination. Protocol is the medication, surgeries, and treatments for a patient. Question 78 1 / 1 point The removal of a small piece of tissue for microscopic examination to assist in a diagnosis is called: Question options: A) cytologic testing B) a biopsy C) a protocol D) a staging laparotomy Hide Feedback A biopsy excises a piece of tissue for examination. A staging laparotomy is performed on the abdomen to determine the extent and staging of a tumor. Cytologic testing examines cells to determine their origin and structure. A protocol is the patient's medications, surgeries, and treatments. Question 79 1 / 1 point Treatment designed to reduce the intensity of painful symptoms, but which does not produce a cure is called: Question options: A) radioactive implant B) radiation therapy C) radical surgery D) palliative therapy Hide Feedback Palliative therapy treats symptoms, but does not cure. Radiation therapy interferes with a tumor's ability to multiply. Radical surgery removes as much tissue as possible. A radioactive implant embeds radiation directly into the tissue. Question 80 1 / 1 point Extensive surgery to remove as much tissue associated with a tumor as possible is called: Question options: A) radical surgery B) palliative therapy C) radioactive implant D) radiation therapy Hide Feedback Radical surgery is extensive surgery. Palliative therapy is designed to reduce symptoms, but not produce a cure. Radiation therapy exposes tumors to radiation. A radioactive implant embeds radiation directly into the tissue.
A patient had surgery for a tumor, and the surgeon came out and said the tumor was encapsulated. What does this mean?
The tumor was enclosed in a sheath of tissue, which kept it from spreading.
