What does it mean to metastasize?

To spread from one part of the body to another, particularly in the context of cancer.

What is chemotherapy?

A type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells.

What is radiation therapy?

A treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells.

What is surgery in the context of cancer treatment?

A procedure to remove cancerous tissue from the body.

What is immunotherapy?

What is targeted therapy?

A cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to precisely identify and attack cancer cells.

What is hormone therapy?

A treatment that adds, blocks, or removes hormones to slow or stop the growth of cancer that uses hormones.

What is a stem cell transplant?

A procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy stem cells.

What is precision therapy?

A personalized treatment approach that tailors therapeutic interventions to individual characteristics of each patient.

What is the autonomic nervous system?

The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate and digestion.

What is the sympathetic nervous system?

The part of the autonomic nervous system that prepares the body for 'fight or flight' during stressful situations.

What is the parasympathetic nervous system?

The part of the autonomic nervous system that conserves energy by slowing the heart rate and increasing intestinal and gland activity.

What are the three types of muscle?

Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

What is the difference between tendons and ligaments?

Tendons connect muscle to bone; ligaments connect bone to bone.

What is flexion?

The action of bending a joint, reducing the angle between bones.

What is extension?

The action of straightening a joint, increasing the angle between bones.

What is abduction?

The movement of a limb away from the midline of the body.

What is adduction?
