FMS Weeks 6 & 7 Flashcards
Pathology
What are ERBB1 and ERBB2?
EGFR and HER growth factor receptors
What neoplasias are Actinomycin D used for?
choriocarcinoma, Wilm’s tumor, testicular tumors, Kaposi’s sarcoma
What type of tumors are steroid hormones used in?
HR+ tumors
What type of drug is Mechlorethamine?
alkylating agent
What are the 5 big tumor suppressor genes?
P53, RB, APC, PTEN, CDH1
What typ of drug is Bortezomib?
Proteosome inhibitor
What are the 6 hallmarks of cancer?
SERIE A
SUSTAINING proliferative SIGNALING
EVADING growth SUPRESSORS
RESISTING cell DEATH
INDUCING ANGIOGENESIS
ENABLING replicative IMMORTALITY
ACTIVATING INVASION/METASTASIS
What type of drug is danazol?
Androgen agonist
What is the target of Bevacizumab?
VEGF
What type of drug is Lenalidomide?
angiogenesis inhibitor
what is desmoplasia?
firm abundant collagen in many malignant tumors
characteristics of coagulative necrosis
gross architecture is preserved, firm texture, all organs except the brain
What does the tissue in this slide display?
coagulative necrosis
What is the mechanism of fat necrosis?
Leaking digestive enzymes (such as lipases from the pacreas) destroy cells, causing fatty deposits through saponification, calcium deposits, and inflammatory reaction
How do tumors enable replicative immortality?
upregulated telomerase activity
What are the typical toxicities of bleomycins?
skin lesions, hyperpigmentation, dose-limiting pulmonary fibrosis
What is the mechanism of topoisomerase inhibitors?
bind to DNA/topoisomberase II and stabilize dsDNA; results in double stranded breaks
What is type C Niemann-Pick?
lysosomal storage disease; mutations affecting enzyme in cholesterol trafficking
what are renal tubule resorbtion droplets?
reversible accumulations of protein that are absorbed into the cytoplasm of proximal tubular cells; seen in proteinuria conditions
What are the toxicities of lenalidomide?
severe neutropenia, thromboembolism
What type of drug is Trastuzumab?
Monoclonal anitibody
What are the main causes of hemosiderosis?
overload of iron: increased dietary absorbtion, hemolytic anemias, repeated blood transfusions
What is the mechanism of antineoplastic alkaloids?
disaggregate mitotic spindles (metaphase arrest)
What type of drug is Paclitaxel?
taxane
What type of drug is tamoxifen?
Estrogen antagonist
What kind of drug is Nivolumab?
monoclonal antibody (checkpoint inhibitor)
describe metastatic calcification
less common; otherwise normal tissues; associated with hypercalcemia and or some abnormality in Ca metabolism
What does the tissue in this slide display?
liquifactive necrosis
what are the toxicities of Bortezomib?
Therapeutic index around 1; peripheral neruopathy, hypotension, GI, asthenia, myelosuppression
What type of drug is Irinotecan?
topoisomerase inhibitor
With what type of necrosis is pus associated?
liquefactive
What type of drug is 6-mercaptopurine?
Purine analog
Use of retinoic acid in neoplasias?
high concentrations stimulate repressed (broken) RA receptors; especially in myelocytic leukemia (APL)
How does proteasome inhibition work?
they block the proteasome, producing conflicting regulatory signals; cancer cells are more sensitive to proapoptotic effects and undergo apoptosis more than normal cells
Mechanism of purine analogs as antineoplastics?
prodrug that inhibits ATP/GTP synthesis
what are the types of necrosis?
coagulative, liquefactive, caseuous, fat necrosis, and fibrinoid necrosis
What kind of drug is this?
Alkylating agent (mechlorethamine); nitrogen mustard
How do aromatase inhibitors work?
Inhibit aromatase (used in estrogen production); used in combination with estrogen inhibitors like tamoxifen for ER+ tumors
What type of drug is Leuprolide?
GnRH agonist
What is a fibroadenoma?
benign, biphasic (fibroblasts&glandular) neoplasm of the breast
what are the toxicities of vinblastine?
MYELOSUPPRESSION, peripheral neuropathy
What type of drug is Pomalidomide?
angiogenesis inhibitor
What type of drug is Degarelix?
GnRH antagonist
What is hemosiderin?
an endogenous pigment derived from hemoglobin, seen in tissues of both physiological/pathological blood cell breakdown
what are the main causes of metastatic calcification?
hypercalcemia: increased secretion of PTH, increased bone resorbtion, vitamin D disorders, renal failure
What is the classical toxicity of Thalidomide?
teratogen, peripheral neuropathy
What is the classical toxicity of checkpoint inhibitors?
immune suppression
What type of drug is Dactomycin?

what is the limiting toxicity of cisplatin?
nephrotoxicity
What are “-tinibs”?
kinase inhibitors
What is unique about Bleomycins?
inactivated except in skin and lung tissue (does not suppress bone marrow)
what are asbestos bodies?
deposition of calcium and iron salts on asbestos fibers
What type of drug is Pertuzumab?
monoclonal antibody
