Cancer part 1

Noncanerous growth consisting of rapidly dividing cells leading to an increased number of  normal cells

• 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 

• in situ (latin for in location or place)
• Unctolled cell grwoth that remains in locatio or place
• (does not invade surrounding tissue)
•  

Unctrolled cell growth and invasion into surrounding tissue

• Not a single disease
• Over 100 types and subtypes of human cancer
• Indiscriminant
• Leading casue of death worldwide
• affects 2 of every 3 families 

• Lung- 1.3 million deaths yearly
• Stomach- ~1 million deaths yearly
• Liver- ~662K deaths yearly
• Colon- ~665K deaths yearly
• Breast- ~502K deaths yearly

• 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

• 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

• •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

New Growth

• •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

epithelial cells or connective tissues

noncancerous, localized to a tissue, and end in oma

rapidly dividing cells, invade normal tissue, metastasize to distant sites, and end in carcinoma or sarcoma
