Question 1

Question
Leukemias​ - cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues: Acute Myeloid Leukemia​ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia​ Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia​ Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia​ Note: Acute leukemia involves the immature cells, called [blank_start]stem[blank_end] cells, whereas chronic leukemia develops in [blank_start]mature[blank_end] cells. Myeloid = bone marrow and [blank_start]RBCS[blank_end], lymphocytic = [blank_start]WBCs[blank_end]. Lymphomas​(cancer beginning in lymphocytes) - Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma More [blank_start]common[blank_end], more likely to be in older patients. Begins in [blank_start]any[blank_end] nodes. - Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ​ Hodgkin's lymphoma is marked by the presence of [blank_start]Reed-Sternberg[blank_end] cells, which a physician can identify using a microscope. In Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, these cells are not present. Typically begins in the [blank_start]upper[blank_end] body, such as the neck, chest or armpits.
Answer
  • stem
  • mature
  • RBCS
  • WBCs
  • common
  • any
  • Reed-Sternberg
  • upper

Question 8

Question
Prognosis​: Leukemia - Children (ALL) - [blank_start]90[blank_end]% cured​ Adults (ALL) - [blank_start]80-90[blank_end]% achieve remission​ Adults (AML) - [blank_start]60-70[blank_end]% achieve remission​ + 70% 5-year survival ALL​. Lymphoma: HL - 5-year survival [blank_start]86%​[blank_end] NHL​: Localized - [blank_start]72%​[blank_end] Regional - 72%​ Distant - [blank_start]55%​[blank_end]
