cancer can build up within an organism and creates a mass called a what

A method that circulating cancer cells commonly employ to increase survival is:   Select one: a. Migration along the endothelial cell walls b. Entry into red blood cells c. Production of toxins d. Surrounding themselves with platelets

In your own words, explain each of the hallmarks of cancer. (immortality, produce go signals, override stop signals, resist cell death, angiogenesis and how it relates to metastasis.

The genetic material (DNA) stored within each and every cell of the body is organized into: 1. a. 23 chromosomes b. 46 chromosomes C. 20 amino acids d. Numerous monosaccharides

Which of the following will help prevent cancer and increase survival?     Smoke only cigarettes.     Eat a low-fiber, low-fat diet.     Seek early detection of tumors.     Limit exercise.

Radiation therapy is commonly used in the treatment of cancer because it interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle. O inhibits growth factor signaling pathways. induces DNA double-strand breaks. destroys oncogenes. induces mutations in tumor suppressor genes.

Ultimately, cancer kills because it spreads and disturbs homeostasis.  Consider, for example, a kidney cancer that metastasizes to the lungs and liver.  What are some specific aspects of homeostasis that the spreading disease could affect?

Radiation, which induces DNA damage, inhibits cancer progression by:     Breaking down Rb     Breaking down cohesin     Activating p53     Phosphorylating Cdk     Breaking down the mitotic spindle

Choose correct statement about cell free DNA - It is excreted with urine and stool - It is made by extracellular polymerases released by damaged liver cells - It can be released by cells dying by apoptosis or necrosis its synthesis does not require a template - It accumulates both in the platelets and as a cellular debris participating in atherogenesis

Describe how different chemicals and radiation can be involved in the development of cancer. Then, describe how chemicals and radiation can be used to treat a patient with cancer.
