Q

Both sessile and traditional serrated ademona are larger/smaller than hyperplastic polyps.
Which one of them have an anbnormal crypt base?

A

larger;

Sessile serrated adenoma

19
Q

Familial syndrome like _____________- and __________ accounts for 10% of CRC.

A
  1. FAP - Familial adenomatous polypopsis

2. Lynch syndrome (= HNPCC hereditary non-poplyposis colorectal cancer)

20
Q

____________ has chromosomal instability in which there is autosomal dominant mutation in APC.
There are over 100 adenomas prsent, with 100% risk of CRC.

A

Familial adenomatous poplyposis (FAP)

21
Q 
In FAP, there is increased risk of CA
A. Thyroid
B. Gallbladder
C. endometrium
D. adrenal glands
E. stomach (multiple gastric fundic polyps)
A

All except C

22
Q

How can FAP and Lynch syndrome be diagnosed respectively?

A

FAP: colonoscopy > 100 adenomatous polyps
Lynch: genetic analysis of DNA MMR genes

23
Q

______________ shows microsatellite instability (MSI) with autosomal dominant mutation in the mismatch repair genes such as MLH1,MSH2 that matches wtih PMS2 adn MSH6.

A

Lynch syndrome// HNPCC

24
Q

Which of the following about Lynch syndrome is incorrect?
A. It is predominantly left sided
B. there are multiple polyps
C. there is increased risk of CA endometrium and ovary
D. genetic counselling is given to patient
D. prophylactic colectomy and hysterectomy is considered

A

A

Should be right-sided

25
Q

FAP is treated by prophylactic colectomy and ___________ inhibitors ro reduce polyp burden.

A

COX2/ NSAID

26
Q

Amsterdam criteria is used in screening Lynch clinically.
Pathologically, Lynch can be screened by immunohistochemistry of ____________ or detection of microsatellite instability by PCR.

A

Mismatch repair proteins

e.g. Loss of MSH2/MSH6 > detect > geentic test to see which gene is affected

27
Q

Microsatellite are ___________ repeats and _________ repeats, which are repetitive, non-coding, short DNA sequences

A

short tandem repeat

simple sequence repeat

28
Q

____________syndrome is when there is FAP + extra-intestinal manifestation (sebaceous cysts, osteomas, desmoid tumor…)

A

Gardner syndrome

29
Q

Turcot syndyrome = FAP + ___________?

A

CNS tumors (glioblastoma/medulloblastoma)

30
Q

Desribe, architectually and cytologically, what you would except to see in a malignant glandular neoplasm (Adenocarcinoma)

**EXAM

A

Architectually, it is composed of proliferation of tumor cells with glandular differentiation in desmoplastic stroma.

Cytologically, tumor cells show malignant cytology with nuclear enlargement, pleomorphism and hyperchromasia, increased N:C ratio, and frequent mitosis.

A

Lifestyle:

32
Q

__________ is a protective factor of Colorectal carcinoma.

A

Prolonged aspirin/NSAID use

33
Q

Sequence from MC to Least common, the location of colorectal cancer.

A

Rectosgimoid > asecending colon and caecum > transverse colon > desceding colon

34
Q

What are the differences in morphology in right-sided and left-sided CRC?

A

Right-sided: tends to bleed, larger calibre, polypoid

Left-sided: tends to obstruct, smaller calibre, annular lesion

35
Q

Difference in patient presentations in right-sided and left-sided CRC?

A

Right-sided: IDA due to bleeding > fatigue…

Left-sided: Altered bowel habits: constipation, diarrhea

36
Q

Difference between grading and staging?

A

Grading: by histology
- well-differentited G1; moderately differentiated G2; poorly differentiated G3

Staging: TNM

37
Q

What is TNM staging?

A

T: tumor growth
N: lymph nodes, nodal metastasis
M: distant metastasis

38
Q

One of the biomakers of CRC is _________, which is overexpressed in 80% of metastatic patients, therefore ________ is given as treatment in stage 4 patients.

A

EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor);

Anti-EGFR monoclonal Ab

39
Q

_________ and _______ are signalling downstream of EGFR, and they have to be tested before prescribing anti-EGFR treatment, why?

A

NRAS, KRAS

RAS/RAF mutation tested because if present, no respone to anti-EGFR treatment

40
Q

_____________ is the commonest GI mesenchymal tumor.

A

GIST

Gastrointestinl stromal tumor

41
Q

GIST is characterized by the expression of ______________, a _______ receptor which is the target of Gleevec (Imatinib) for treating metastatic or unresectable GIST.

A

c-kit/ CD117;

tyrosine kinase

42
Q

Staging of GIST depends on?

A

Tumor, mitotic count, location

43
Q

Other than KIT gene mutation, _______ mutation is also a cause of GIST.

A

PDGFRA gene
