As mentioned above, Bob needs a bone marrow transplant. Given Bob's age and overall health, the
doctor's decide to perform a "mini-transplant" of bone marrow. This procedure requires much less
chemotherapy and radiation than traditional bone marrow transplants. It is designed to remove some
of the patient's existing bone marrow, to suppress the cancer cells, and to prevent the patient's body
from rejecting the bone marrow transplant. This type of transplant is still considered experimental
for MDS treatment. It takes Bob a month to go through the chemotherapy and radiation treatments to
ready his body for transplant.
6. When the doctor does blood work on Bob at this point, what blood cells do you expect to be at
lower than normal levels?
I
When using gene therapy to treat an hereditary disease, the idea is to:
A. Introduce the correct gene into the patient's DNA
B. Inject the patient with a specific protein to cure the disease.
C. Blood transfusions from healthy individuals.
D. ntroduce mRNA molecules with the correct genetic information to the patient.
E. Introduce a virus to the patient that will specifically destroy mutated cells.

- You have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer. a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer. b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer. C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.arrow_forwardWith regard to cancer cells, which of the following are true? A. Cancer cells are clonal, meaning that they are derived from many different cells that all underwent the same clonal mutation. Cells usually accumulate many mutations over time, and this results in cancerous growth. B. Almost all cancers are caused by oncogenic viruses. no Benign tumors are dangerous because they can easily invade surrounding tissue and spread to other locations in the body. DE. Cancer cells are unable to control their division.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true about the rate of mutation in tumor cells (select all that apply)? A. Mutation rate of tumor cells is reduced compared to normal cells of the same tissue type B. Mutation rate of tumor cells is unchanged compared to normal cells of the same tissue type C. Mutation rate in tumor cells is higher compared to normal cells of the same tissue type D. Affected by genome instability within the tumor cellsarrow_forward
