47
Q

dysplasia

A

disordered growth

48
Q

carcinoma in situ

A

not yet breached the basement membrane

49
Q

characteristics of benign tumors

A 
well differentiated
normal nucleus
growth rates slows
pushing, but non invasive
no metastasis
50
Q

characteristics of malignant tumors

A 
undifferentiated
anaplasia (change in nucleus)
erratic grwoth
local invasion
mestastasis
51
Q

metastasis

A

sin qua non malignancy

52
Q

differentiation

A

major determinants

  • neoplastic cells
  • architecture relationships with stroma
53
Q

less differentiated a malignant neoplasm

A

more aggressive its behavior

54
Q

grade of differentiation

A

well - closely resembles parent
moderately - features original tissue present, but not dominant pattern
poorly - minority of parent tissue, with cellular anaplasia
undifferentiated - cannot be discerned, always anaplasia

55
Q

indicators of anaplasia

A 
hyperchromatic nuclei
N/C ratio (normal is 1:6)
variable nucleus size and shape
mitoses
tumor giant cells
56
Q

metaplasia in cervix

A

to squamous

57
Q

metaplasia in esophagus

A

to glandular

58
Q

rate of growth determinants

A

doubling time of tumor
fraction of tumor cells in replicative pool (growth fraction)
rate at which cells die

59
Q

mitotic figures per unit of tissue

A

higher - is more likely a malignant

60
Q

cancer stem cells

A

eliminate these to get rid of cancer

hard to kill with therapy

61
Q

tumor initiating cells

A

cells that allow a human tumor to grow and maintain itself indefinitely

should be target of therapy

62
Q

as population of tumor cells expand

A

higher percentage leaves replicative pool

63
Q

both malignant and benign tumors cause problems because of

A 
location or impingement
hormone release (paraneoplastic syndromes)
bleeding/infection
rupture/infarct
cachexia/wasting
64
Q

grading of tumor

A

established by pathologist

-how differentiated is tumor

65
Q

staging of tumor

A

established by oncologist

-how widely is cancer spread

66
Q

malignant tumors that rarely metastasize

A

glioma

basal cell carcinoma

67
Q

dermoid cyst

A

mature teratoma
