Biochemical aspect of cancer Flashcards
from connective tissue (e.g. bone, cartilage
Sarcoma
arise in epithelial cells
Carcinoma
from white blood cells
Leukemia and lymphomas
DNA is synthesized and the original DNA duplicated
S phase
which the cell divides to produce two daughter cells
M phase
the tissue contains cells that proliferate continually to replace those that die or are lost (e.g. the skin, intestine, bone marrow). These cells are known as stem cells
Continually renewing
Prone to cancer
Continually renewing cell
High on tumor cell, moderate in normal cell
