Question
Answer
show Actinomycin (second antibiotic ever developed) & Daunorubicin  
🗑
Class of dDrugs developed specifically for cancer treatment?   show
🗑
NCI formed in what decade?   show
🗑
Clinical trials on 1st chemo (nitrogen mustard) completed in what decade?   show
🗑
show Pharmacokinetics:drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion. How the body processes drugs.  
🗑
Def: Pharmocodynamics   show
🗑
Def: Multimodal Therapy   show
🗑
show use of chemotherapy following another form of therapy, such as surgery, to treat residual disease or undetectable metastasis.  
🗑
show Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used preoperatively to decrease tumor bulk in order to make it easier to remove the tumor surgically.  
🗑
show places within the body that tumor cells can hide. Sites not easily reached by systemic chemotherapy. Ex: CNS in leukemia.  
🗑
How does chemo work   show
🗑
Goals of chemo   show
🗑
show RESTING PHASE: cells not dividing. length extremely variable. (not "in cell cycle")  
🗑
Cell cycle: what is G 1 (gap 1)?   show
🗑
show DNA DUPLICATION PHASE in preparation for cellular division. Length 20 hours.  
🗑
Cell cycle: what is G2 (gap 2)?   show
🗑
Cell cycle: what is M (Mitosis) phaze?   show
🗑
show phase 1 of Mitosis: . During prophase the nuclear membrane breaks down and chromosomes clump  
🗑
show Phase 2 of Mitosis: In metaphase the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.  
🗑
Cell cycle: what is Anaphase?   show
🗑
show Phase 4 of mitosis:Telophase results in actual cell division and the production of two identical “daughter” cells. This process takes approximately one hour.  
🗑
show time for cell to move from one mitotic episode to another. Length dependent on cell type & time in GO. Short cycle= higher kill with cycle specific agents. Continuous infusion of these Rx => higher cell kill in tumors with short cell cycle times.  
🗑
What is the Cell Kill Hypothesis   show
🗑
show % of cells actively dividing at a given point in time - higher growth fraction ->higher cell kill with cycle specific agents - tumors with greater fraction of cells in G0 will be more sensitive to cell cycle nonspecific agents  
🗑
Def: Tumor burden   show
🗑
show Tumor burden growth is initially exponential but levels off as blood, O2 & nutrient supply is limits. Center of tumor becomes necrotic.  
🗑
