This paraneoplastic syndrome causes ACH to be secreted and may lead to excessive retention of water by the kidney's.
|
SIDAH
|
|
In patients with solid tumors who do not have metastasis, hypercalcemia is most often caused by:
|
PTHrP (Parathyroid hormone related polypeptide)
|
|
PTHrP is most often caused by which cancer:
|
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs.
|
|
Name the three effects of PTH:
|
1.Retention/mobilization of calcium
2.Excretion of phosphorus 3. hydroxylation of vitamin D in the kidney |
|
This increases the absorption of calcium in the gut, promotes reabsorption in the kidneys, and promotes PTH reabsorption of bone:
|
Activated Vitamin D
|
|
Vitamin D related hypercalcemia, due to vitamin D inoxication can be caused by several granulomatous diseases such as:
|
Sarcoidosis, Tuberculosis, or fungal infections.
|
|
Name for condition with increased number of red blood cells:
|
Polycythemia
|
|
Condition associated with hepatocellular and renal cellular carcinomas as well as cerebellar hemangiomas
|
Polycythemia
|
|
50% of patients with Cushing's Syndrome have what?
|
Lung cell carcinoma
|
|
This condition is caused by excess ACTH
|
Cushing's Syndrome
|
|
Hypercalcemia is common in breast carcinoma patients who have _____
|
Bone Metastasis
|
|
This condition is readily seen on radiographs and often seen with pathologic fractures- what kind of cancer is it associated with?
|
Osteolytic Metastases
|
|
A mutation in this gene is associated with retinoblastoma, osteogenic sarcoma, and breast carcinoma:
|
Rb
|
|
This cell cycle and apoptotic regulator inhibits G1 to S phase, repairs DNA and activates BAX
|
p53
|
|
In cells with a deficiency of this tumor supressor gene DNA damage doesn't lead to cell cycle arrest, which may lead to lung, colon, breast carcinomas, LF syndrome, brain tumors, leukemia, and sarcoma:
|
p53
|
|
Loss of this tumor supressor gene is associated with familial polyposis (colorectal carcinoma)
|
APC
|
|
When this signal transduction inhibitor is lost or inactive, destruction of beta-catenin cannot occur, which leads to entry into the cell cycle:
|
APC
|
|
Malfunction of these DNA repair genes is associated with breast, ovary, and prostate carcinomas.
|
BRCA1 and 2
|
|
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with an increase in cortisol:
|
Cushing's Syndrome
|
|
These two paraneoplastic syndromes are associated with small cell lung cancer:
|
Cushing's and SIADH
|
|
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with increased EPO. What are the two associated cancers?
|
Polycythemia- renal cell and hepatocellular carcinoma
|
|
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with breast, lung, kidney ovary, and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
|
Hypercalcemia
|
|
This gene is associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 and 2
|
MEN1 and RET
|
|
These genes are associated with inherited risk for breast and ovarian cancers
|
BRCA 1 and 2
|
|
These genes are associated with neurofibromitosis 1 and 2
|
NF1 and NF2
|
