Final Exam Flashcards
Malignant tumors = cancer
Mesenchyme = -sarcoma
•Spindle shape
Epi= -carcinoma
•round cell shape
Anaplastic = un d/dt
> 1germ layer neoplasm
Teratoma
~ovary & testes
Benign tumors
“-oma”
Fibroma
Osteoma
Chondroma
Normal tissue at ECTOPIC site
Choristoma
Disorg mature mesen/epi tissue at NORMAL site
Hamartoma
Cancer grade
Rated by d/dt extent of tumor cells Low grade(1)-(2)-(3)-high grade(4) mali
Cancer stage
Based of 1• tumor size &extent [0-2]
TNM sys:
T0,T1=only 1• site,T2=inv adj tissue
N0,N1=regional LN, N2=distant LN
M0, M1=in 1• organ site, M2=dist meta
Subpop of tumor cells that ALLOWS a tumor to maintain 🔁 renewal
T-ICs
Slow dividing cancer stem cells
Lymphatic spread Metastasis
Carcinomas
Epi➡️LN +/- destroyed by imm sys
Hematogebous spread metastasis
Sarcomas
Mesen➡️embolism VENOUS Sys
Lungs/liver/kidneys trap
Diffuse implant neoplastic cells on serosal surface
Carcinomatosis
~pancreas/ovarian transceolmic
4 gene targets
OTAD
Proto-oncogenes: ✳️prolif& d/dt
Tumor suppressor genes: regu growth
Apoptosis regulator genes
DNA Repair genes: stability
Carcinogenesis 7 physio
AiADRA(iM)
Autocrine G sig Insensitivity to inhib sig ⛔️apoptosis ⛔️DNA repair (2 copies) 🔁 replication potential Angiogenesis Invade&metastasis
Warburg effect
Tumor cell glu metabolism shift to
Aerobic glycolysis
Use PET img 18F-labelled glu trace
Gatekeeper genes
Caretaker genes
Gate: oncogenes + tumor sup genes
Care: DNA Repair genes
