] Mr. X, aged 85, was recently diagnosed with a particular type of brain tumor and was referred to Dr. Y, chief of surgery at the nearby university hospital, for further evaluation. This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor.
Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor
Benign 8 5
Malignant 1 5
Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant. Exploratory surgery itself is dangerous: there is a 5% chance…

Metaplasia is re-programing of adult and mature cells that exist in normal tissue Induced by cytokines, growth factors and other environmental signals. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a form of cell death that is generally triggered by normal, healthy processes in the body. Necrosis is the premature death of cells and living tissue. ...

As you take her medical history, it becomes apparent that she is quite concerned about her risk for developing breast cancer. Her mother and a maternal aunt both developed breast cancer in their late 40s. J.F. has heard that genetic testing can be done to see whether she carries “breast cancer genes.” If genetic testing reveals that J.F. does carry the BRCA1 gene, what does this mean for her risk of developing breast cancer?arrow_forwardWhat are Tumor Markers ?arrow_forward
