“Stage” of cancer
Vaccine for
HPV strains 16 & 18
Starts from tissues that cover a
surface or line a cavity of the
body. About 80-90% of all
cancers (includes adenocarcinoma and
squamous cell carcinoma)
Starts from tissues that
connect, support, or surround
other tissues and organs (soft
tissue or bone)
Starts in the bone marrow in the
blood cells that make antibodies
Starts in the lymph system – the
circulatory network of vessels,
spaces, and nodes carrying
lymph, the almost colorless fluid
that bathes the body’s cells.
Involved the blood-forming
tissues and blood cells. Can
occur in Indian children or
adults, but acts very different in
each age group.
Vaccine to be released summer

Hormone Replacement Therapy
found to increase risks for
breast cancer
About 1/3 of cervix tumors found
in Northern Plains tribal
members are negative for these
HPV genetic markers
More than 15 different types of
this disease
Determines the treatment
protocols
A strategy to provide standard
treatment care to Native cancer
patients
Includes any strategies used to
help Native women learn about
the availability of screening and
to take part in that screening
More than 7 a week increases a
woman’s risks for breast, colon
and lung cancer
The products that include the
messages for outreach
The words that are used in the
outreach product
Refers to how often the risk
happens
Refers to how long the behavior
lasts
Refers to how strong the dosage
of the behavior
Habitual use increases the
woman’s risks for cancers of the
esophagus, cervix, colon,
stomach and pancreas
Increases the woman’s risks for
breast, colon or gallbladder
cancer
Includes daily physical activity,
not using tobacco habitually,
avoiding “fast” food restaurants

Tumor is negative for “estrogen
receptor”
“progesterone receptor”
HER2/neu (human epithelial
growth factor 2 c-erbB-2)
Includes a mass of cells that do
not spread to other parts of the
body
The physician takes a piece of
tissue (a group of cells) from the
growth or cyst.
To do this the provider asks
about symptoms, your medical
history, performs an exam,
orders tests
The cancer cells have spread
from one body part to another.
More than 100 different types

skin, colon, oral, non-Hodgkin’s

Female hormones to help
reduce risk of colon cancer
