Oncology Flashcards
example of hypertrophy and hyperplasia in Male/Female
BPH
Breast
Ananplasia
revert to mesenchymal origin
very aggressive
high metastatic rate
sensitive to radiation or chemo
Desmoplasia
cartilaginous tissue surrounds the tumor
metaplasia
adult cell to another adult cell which can handle the stress
Dysplasia
loss of cell-to-cell contact inhibition
CIN
good prognosis (90% 5-yr survival)
Best time to screen
neoplasia
new growth
Tumor, mass, neoplasia
Benign first then malignant second
When it has been removed (in the question)
cancer first then benign
well circumscribed, encapsulated, response to normal physiological, freely mobile
Benign
adherent, outgrows blood supply, no circumscribed, does not obey physiological
Malignant
Malignant hormone
Angiogenin: grow own blood supply
Endostatin: Stops growth of bld vessels to other cancer
when is chemo considered effective
kill up to a billion cells
(cancer is palpable and visible )
when cancer out grows its blood supply what happens
metastases
where is metastasis primary cancer
Brain
bone
lung
liver
pericardium
adrenal
