Ch 1 Flashcards
The incidence of the population of illness that has the capability of interfering with daily routines
Morbidity rate
The # of deaths from a particular disease and averaged over population
Mortality Rate
This is new, abnormal tissue growth
Well differentiated cells with uncontrolled cell growth
The loss of control of both cell proliferation and cell differentiation
Neoplastic
Benign neoplasm
Malignant neoplasm
Cancerous cells that spread to a different site or organ
Cancerous cells that spread to surrounding tissue of proximity
Seeding
Invasion
One type of cancer by epithelial tissue
Cancers derived from connective tissues

Malignant neoplasm
The form and structure of disease

Morphology
Metastatic spread
The development of disease
A statistical measure that refers to the # of cases of a disease in given population
Pathogenesis
Prevalence
A type of tumor often highly malignant, composed of a substance similar to embryo connective tissue
Sarcoma
Conditions resulting from a disease
