Precancers. Dysplaisa of squamous and glandular epithelium Flashcards
definition of precancer
on-invasive lesion that has genetic abnormalities, loss of cellular control funciton and some phenotypic charchterisitc of inavsive cancer, and is very likely to develop tint inasvive canver
or
genetically induved, non invasive lesion which with some probability leads to development of malignancy
criteria of precancer
- evidence exista thta precancer is associated with increased risk of cancer
- when precancer progresses to cancer, the resulting cnacer arises from cells
- precancer is different form normal tissye it arises form
- precancer is different form the cnacer into which it develops
- there are methods by which is can be diagnosed
inborn syndromes with high risk of malignancy
Li fraumeni s.: defect of p53
lynch s: defect of DNA repair genes
immunodeficinect
ecposition to carcinogens
disorder with high risk of developmetn of malignancy
cholescystolithasis
cryptorchidism (undescended testicle)
feature of clinical manifestation of malignancy-paraneoplastic phenoma
what is dysplasisa
- most common morphological featur eof precancer
-disturbances of normal tissue structure or normal cell morpholgy
-cells are larger, nuceli are larger aka increased N:C ratio, pleomorphism of cells and distinct nucleoli and so one
-can be reversible
what is reactive chnages
rversible chnages of tissue by injury, morphologically mimicking true dysplasia, distinguishing reactive atypia form true dysplasia can be difficul or immpossible
- these are seriously altered morpholoy
- ## not DNA induced lesions, only DIRECT INJURY OF TISSUE
hyperplasia
-progressive chnage in which ther eis increased number of cells in tissye
-pathological hyperplasia can develop into malognancy like of Lymphoid tissue in AIS, HP, induced MALT hyperplasia, atypical ductal hyperplasia in breats
- AIDS thing can bear risk of lymphoma–>precancerous
-gastritis of endometrial mucosa=MOST COMMON kind which is precancerous lesion
metaplasia
change of one differentiated tupe of tissye to antoher differentiated type of tissye
what is most crucial feature of precancerous
invasive growth/ infiltration
- It is a non-invasive lesion. it doesnt infiltrate
it is DNA induced
info about cells of precancerous
- are active and are able to proliferate withoug growth support
- proliferaet and growth is automatic(autonomous)
classification of precancers-according to importance
- stacionar/facultative
- progredient/obligatory
- absolute progredient precancers
stacionar/facultative
-transformation <20% of lesions, time inetrval >5y
-usually chronic tissueirritation-resp chronic proliferation of cells
-neurofibromatosis, endometrial hyperplasia
-not true precancers, only diseases which high tisk of mlignancy exceot the two mentioned
progredient/obligatiory
- transformation >20% of lesion, time interval <5y
- serous alteration of genetif information
-cornu cutaneum, cervical intraepithelial neoplasin-cin, prostatic intraepileila neoplasia-PIN, atypical endometrial hyperplasia
absolute progredient precancers
-100% occurence of malignancy
-FAP-familial adenomatous polyposis, XP-ceroderma pigmentosum
classifciation of precancers to morphology and development
- acquired microscopic precancers
- acquired large lesions with morphologic atypia
- precursors lesion occuring with inherited hyperplasic syndorme thta often progress into cancer
- acquired diffuse hyperplasia and diffuse metaplasia
