“comp inhibitor”of estrogen receptor - it prevents binding of estrogen to R reduces cancer cell divs must be taken regularly to act as TS

binds EGF-R (blocks EGF) (antibody)

most mutated TS and oncogenes increase cell divs and number of cell mutations

computed tomography xray

lymphocytes (wbcs) that secrete antibodies

infection fighters • block proteins from binding receptors • monoclonal

liver cells

normal cells that have completely transformed into cancer cells e.g. HeLa cells

herceptin, erbitux, perjeta

vessels and lymph nodes redistribute bodily fluids to prevent build up but lymph vessels can help easy metastasis nodes also = space for 2 tumour development

wbcs in immune system (lymphatic)

a nuclear imaging test that uses a radioactive tracer to show how well organs and tissues are working
