Q

occurs when a group of cells becomes free of normal growth control mechanisms, grows without regard for the normal structural and functional aspects of a tissue or an organ and excessive growth becomes
autonomous.

102
Q

mass of neoplasm may be due to general inappetence resulting from the liberation of toxic products

A

Cancer Cachexia.

103
Q

malabsorption, increased metabolism, and
chronic infection all contribute to the process.

A

Cancer Cachexia

104
Q

. This includes fever resulting from tissue necrosis and
concomitant infection; Anemia caused by progressive blood loss from ulcerated areas, and the weakening of the body’s natural resistance due to tumor products, tumor cell invasion of bone marrow and lymphoid destruction. Opportunistic infections complicate the problem.

A

Systemic Reactions

105
Q

. Some tumors retain their functional ability and secrete
substances that may cause disease in the host, in particular, endocrine products
from endocrine tumors. Functioning tumors of endocrine glands such as ___________ are known to produce hormones in excess.

A

Hormone Production

adrenal cortex and medulla, parathyroid, and pancreatic islets

106
Q

. Some non-endocrine tumors produce ectopic hormones inappropriate for their tissue origin. When this happen, the clinical
signs and symptoms cannot be explained by the presence of the local tumor, distant spread, or functioning endocrine gland tumor, and such condition is
known as paraneoplastic syndrome. This has been reported to occur in both
human and animals, and the syndromes observed including the tumors
responsible for their expressions

A

Paraneoplastic Syndromes

107
Q

Q

The developmental process of neoplastic transformation occurring in cells is called

Carcinogenesis

109
Q

Classes of carcinogens

A

A. Direct-reacting carcinogens
B. Procarcinogen
C. Initiator
D. Promoter or co-carcinogen
E. Complete carcinogen

110
Q

– these are reactive substances that
require no activation by biologic processes;

A

Direct-reacting carcinogens

111
Q

– agents that must be metabolized in the animal body to the “proximate” or ultimate carcinogen;

A

Procarcinogen

112
Q

– these may be direct-reacting or procarcinogen, or may not be a carcinogen at all but are capable of initiating a change in the cell that leads to neoplastic transformation;

A

Initiator

113
Q
  • agents that then applied after initiation
    promotes the development of tumors;
A

Promoter or co-carcinogen

114

Physical Agents

A

A

Ultraviolet light

118
Q

, such as burns act as cocarcinogen by increasing mitotic rates in the affected area.

A

Trauma

119
Q

A

Oncogenic Viruses

120
Q

Oncogenic Viruses

A

five major DNA viral families as

papova-
hepatitis B-
adeno-
herpes-
poxviruses

121
Q

A

retrovirus family

122
Q

Types of chemical carcinogens

A

NATURALLY OCCURRING SUBSTANCES:
aflatoxin, nitrosamine, and cycasin, a plant alkaloid.

SYNTHESIZED CHEMICALS:
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, azo dyes, saccharine, and polyvinyl chloride

123
Q

Theories in Carcinogenesis

A

1) Somatic Mutation Theory
2) Epigenetic Theory
3) Oncogene Theory

124
Q

– This theory explains that damage to DNA
leads to transformation that could be heritable and passed from generation
to generation. Evidence for this theory includes the findings that most
carcinogens are mutagens and able to cause changes in the DNA

A

Somatic Mutation Theory

125
Q

– The theory states that all cells contain the complete genome capable of producing the characteristics of malignancy, such as motility and the capability to multiply. Derepression of genes through
alteration of cytoplasmic proteins leads to dedifferentiation into a more
primitive cell type. Supporting evidence include the findings that even the
most malignant features (e.g., metastasis) do occur in normal cells (e.g., leucocyte emigration, trophoblast extension)

A

Epigenetic Theory

126
Q

– This theory postulates that the oncogenes of transforming retroviruses are derived from normal cellular genes (called
proto-oncogenes) and their increased or inappropriate expression
contributes to neoplastic transformation. Molecular studies showed that all
retroviral oncogenes have hybridizing homologues (or close relatives) in
the genome of all normal vertebrate cells.

A

Oncogene Theory

Q

normal cellular genesn called

A

proto-oncogenes

134
Q

osteosarcomas in large breeds of dogs such as

A

Great Danes, Saint Bernard and Irish wolfhound.

135
Q

neoplastic cells acquire new antigens

A

neoantigens

136
Q

When the neoantigens occur at the cell surface membranes, they are different
from the major histocompatibility antigens (MHC), and are called

A

tumor-specific transplantation antigens (TSTA)

137
Q

The TSTA’s of tumors produced by chemical
carcinogens are called

A

private antigens

138
Q

The reasons why the
immune cells could not recognize transformed neoplastic cells as foreign could be explained by known immunologic phenomena as follows:

A
  1. Blocking antibodies coat the tumor cells and prevent T-cell recognition;
  2. Soluble tumor antigens block the specific receptors required for immune
    recognition;
  3. Tumor cells secretions may be immunosuppressive, as in the case of
    onco-fetal antigen known as alpha-fetoprotein;
  4. Tumor cell secretions may induct T-cell suppressor system that blocks
    immune reactivity;
  5. The TSTA’s may be poorly immunogenic or even non-immunogenic.

157
Q

– term that is used to describe a monotonous pattern of masses
of cells with similar appearance and very little apparent stromal support, just cell
after cell after cell.

A

Sheets of cells

158
Q

– these are characterized by cells forming or attempting to form acinar units, as in a secretory gland like the thyroid or mammary gland.

A

Acinar arrangements

159
Q

– are typical of endocrine tumors in which a clump or nests of cells
is surrounded by a narrowband of connective tissue stroma.

A

Nest of cells

160
Q

– occur when cells line up in a picket fencetype arrangement along a strand of connective tissue, such as in the testicular
interstitial cell tumor.

A

Palisading or trabecular patterns

161
Q
  • occur when a single, double or finger-like projection of tumor cells invade surrounding tissue.

Give Examples

A

Tubular arrangements

basal cell tumors or anal gland tumors.

162
Q

When there is little apparent stroma, stromal arrangements may be described
as:

A

• scant, as in sheets of cell

167
Q

Two theories on the success of Metastasis

A
  1. The Soil Theory
  2. The Mechanical Theory
168
Q
  • This theory states that a tumor must find a “suitable soil” for its growth requirements before it will survive as a metastatic nodule.
A

The Soil Theory

169
Q
  • This theory states that the tumor will grow wherever it lands, and only
    mechanical factors and chance influence sites of metastases.
