40
Q

cancer that doesnt invade the basement membrane

A

noninvasive carcinoma in situ

41
Q

noninvasive carcinoma in situ

A

cancer that doesnt invade the basement membrane

42
Q

degrees of differentiation

  • what does this mean
  • types (3)
A
  • how much it looks like original tissue
  • well differentiated (look more like normal cells - behave better)
  • poorly differentaiated
  • anaplastic= original cell type is unknown
43
Q

anaplastic

A

original cell type is unknown

so dont know level of differentiation

44
Q

well/poorly differentiated

A

slightly/well differentiated from original tissue

well differentiated= looks like normal cells (behaves more benignly)
poorly differentiated = looks less like normal cells (behaves more malignantly)

45
Q

neoplasm construction

A

neoplastic cells- normally monoclonal (genetically identical to parent)

stroma - mechanical supprt + framework- connective tissue. built from growth factors from neoplasm

46
Q

commonly metastases to bone

A

BLT

  • breast
  • lungs
  • thyroid

KP nuts

  • kidney
  • prostate

+renal

47
Q

metastases arrive in lung

A

systemic loop to large heart vena cava and large pulmonary arteries so lodges in small lung capillaries

48
Q

where do gut/colon tumours metastasise to?

A

liver, via the large portal vein into smaller liver capillaries where it can lodge
so liver acts as ‘tumour filter’

49
Q

do malignant tumours have

a) growth increase compared to growth of rest of body
b) cell division increase

A

B!

mitotic activity increases

50
Q

where do tumours go on to from lung venules
