CHAPTER 12 part 1 Flashcards
a group of disorder characterized by ABNORMAL CELL PROLIFERATION, in which cells ignore growth-regulating signals in the surrounding environment
cancer
‘abnormal cells INVADE surrounding tissue’ and gain access to lymph and blood vessels
metastasis
pertains on HOW TUMOR CELLS INVADES the different parts of the body
metastasis
metastasis comes in two forms:
lymphatic
hematogenous
a type of metastasis: ‘tumor cells enter the lymph channel’ especially via interstitial fluid
lymphatic
a type of metastasis: it enters via blood stream
hematogenous
a characteristic of cancer that is NON-CAPSULATED; metastatic; known for causing DEATH
malignant cancer cell
cells that are not cancerous
benign cancer cells
these cancer cells are ENCAPSULATED; non-metastatic
benign cancer cells
tsg means
tumor suppressor gene
there is a DESTRUCTED DNA of a cell because of ALTERATION OF TSG or INCREASE number of ONCOGENES
cancer
it contains the blueprint of cell growth
DNA
this originates in EPITHELIAL TISSUE; mainly affects the SKIN
carcinoma
this cancer originates the glandular tissue
adenocarcinoma
it pertains to glands which secretes juices
adeno
it originates in the fat, muscle, blood vessels, nerves, bones
sarcoma
the cancer that begins in the bones and connective tissue
sarcoma
types of carcinoma
basal cell carcinoma
squamous cell carcinoma
melanoma
the MOST COMMON SKIN cancer
basal cell carcinoma
this carcinoma is caused by a frequent SUN EXPOSURE
basal cell carcinoma
second most common form of carcinoma
squamous cell carcinoma
it affects the melanocytes
melanoma
a type of cell that gives color to the skin
melanocytes
a cancer that affects the DIFFERENT ORGANS of the body that primary SECRETES OR PRODUCES JUICES
adenocarcinoma
this cancer mainly affects the bones
sarcoma
tumor in the bone
osteosarcoma
malignant neoplasm in the vessel walls
angiosarcoma
sarcoma in cartilage
chondrosarcoma
the end of the bone that serves as cushion; synovial fluid
cartilage
sarcoma in the fat cells
liposarcoma
types of sarcoma
LOCAF
liposarcoma
osteosarcoma
chondrosarcoma
angiosarcoma
fibrosarcoma
