-
Hyperplaisia
Noncanerous growth consisting of rapidly dividing cells leading to an increased number of normal cells
-
Mild Displasia
- Noncanerous abnormal cell growth characterized by the loss of normal tissue arrangement and cell structure
- Cells may have changes in DNA and/or
- Cells may have structral changes in the nuycleus
-
Carcinoma in situ
- in situ (latin for in location or place)
- Unctolled cell grwoth that remains in locatio or place
- (does not invade surrounding tissue)
-
-
Cancer
Unctrolled cell growth and invasion into surrounding tissue
-
Feature of Cancer
- Not a single disease
- Over 100 types and subtypes of human cancer
- Indiscriminant
- Leading casue of death worldwide
- affects 2 of every 3 families
-
Main types of cancer and overall mortality
- Lung- 1.3 million deaths yearly
- Stomach- ~1 million deaths yearly
- Liver- ~662K deaths yearly
- Colon- ~665K deaths yearly
- Breast- ~502K deaths yearly
-
Tumor
- Swelling
- Describes the severity of a person's cancer based on the extent of the orginal (primary) tumor and whether or not cancer has spread in the body
-
Why is tumor staging important
- Helps doctor plan the appropriate treatment
- Can be used to estimate a patient’s prognosis
- Important in identifying clinical trials that may be suitable for a particular patient
- Helps health care providers and researchers exchange information about patients
- Provides common terminology for evaluating and comparing the results of similar/dissimilar clinical trials
-
•TMN staging system based on
- •Tumor (T) -Extent of the tumor
- •Nodes (N) -Whether cancer cells have spread to nearby (regional) lymph nodes
- •Metastasis (M) - Whether distant (to other parts of body) metastasis has occurred
-
-
What is the tissue of origin (epithelial cells or connective tissues)
- •Tumor (T) -Extent of the tumor
- •Nodes (N) -Whether cancer cells have spread to nearby (regional) lymph nodes
- •Metastasis (M) - Whether distant (to other parts
- of body) metastasis has occurred
-
2 types of tissue of orgin
epithelial cells or connective tissues
-
Benign tumors are considered
noncancerous, localized to a tissue, and end in oma
-
Malignant tumors consist of
rapidly dividing cells, invade normal tissue, metastasize to distant sites, and end in carcinoma or sarcoma
-
Epithelial Cells and Benign
- Adenoma
- Papilloma
- Squamous cell papilloma
- Liver Cell Adeonoma

-
Connective Tissue and Benign
- Fibroma
- Lipoma
- Chandroma
- Osteoma
- Hemangioma
- Rhabdomyoma
- Leimyoma
-
Epithelial Cells and Malignant

- Squamaous Cell carcinoma
- Hepatocellura Carcinoma
- Renal Cell Carcinoma
-
Connective Tissue and Malignant
- Fibrosarcoma
- Liposarcoma
- Chondrosarcoma
- Osterscarcoma
- Angiosarcoma
- Rhabdomayosarcoma
- Leiomyosarcoma
-
four factors that regulate normal cell growth and repair damaged tissue
- Growth factors
- Growth inhibitors
- Cyclins - Cell Cycle Proteins
- Apoptosis - Programmed cell death, a normal componet of the development and health of mulitcellular organisms
