people cannot be born with one ____________ but can be born with one ______________.

A

mutant oncogene, mutant tumor supressor gene

21
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

Bcl-2 - b cell lymphoma

A

ONCOGENE

b cell lymphoma

22
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

A

ONCOGENE

ovarian and breast cancer, ependymal growth factor

24

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

APC

A

TUMOR SUPRESSOR

colorectal

25
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

RB1

A

TUMOR SUPRESSOR

retinoblasotma

26
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

N- MYC

A

ONCOGENE:

neuroblastoma

27
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

C-Myc

A

ONCOGENE:

burkitt lymphoma and others

28
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

RAS

A

ONCOGENE

30 - 30% of all cancers

29
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

MSII

A

TUMOR SUPRESSOR

colorectal/ endometrial, gastric

30
Q

TUMOR SUPRESSOR or ONCOGENE:

NF1 / NF2

A

TUMOR SUPRESSOR

neuroblastoma

31
Q

How does RAS transform from a proto-oncogen to an oncogene

A

loses its ability to convert GTP to GDP - RAS is now permanently on and the cell is SELF SUFFICIENT

32
Q

Tow hit hypothesis applies to ________.

A

insensitivity of anti-growth signals

example = RB- retinoblastoma gene

33
Q

what gene is in charge of evading apoptosis

34
Q

when the p53 gene is mutated the cell cycle is never _______, so mutated cells continue to proliferate

35
Q

limitless replicative potential

A

telomerase

36
Q

sustained angiogenesis

37
Q

Cancer cells must exhibit __________. they have to chew through the ____________.

Cancer cells use _____________ to get through the collagen of the membrane and secretes ____________ and attaches itself to ______________ to pull through the basement membrane.

A

contact inhibition

basement membrane

type IV collagenase

proteolytic enzymes

fibinolectin

38
Q

E6 binds up

39
Q

E7 binds up

40
Q

disable proteins, but DO NOT effect the gene

41
Q

strains NOT covered by HPV vaccine that cause cervical cancer

42
Q

strains covered by HPV vaccine that cause cervical cancer

A

16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancers

43
Q

strainscovered by HPV vaccine that cause genital warts

44
Q

rapidly dividing cells

45
Q

because all hematopoietic stem cells are effected by chemotherapy, we will see_________.

A

Anemia and Neutropenia

46
Q

when does chemo brain stop?

A

when chemo stops - chemo actually doesn’t have the ability to reach the CNS

47
Q

______________ helps prevent resistant cells

A

Combination therapy

48
Q

starvation due to nutrients going to cancer
