Study Notes
Cancer Learning Objectives
- Define key terms: aneuploid, oncometabolite, benign, malignant, metastasis, indirect/direct-acting carcinogens, "multi-hit" model, oncogenes, protooncogenes, tumor suppressors, genome maintenance genes
- Describe cancer cell biological hallmarks
- Explain how genetics and mutations contribute to cancer predisposition/progression
- Classify malignant tumors (carcinomas or sarcomas)
- Detail the processes of cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis
- Identify gene categories mutated in oncogenesis
- Explain how deregulated cellular/molecular mechanisms contribute to cancer development
Cancer Text Excerpt
- Lodish et al. (2021), Chapter 25
- Verse (Matthew 5:29-30): Losing a body part is better than losing your whole body due to sin (NIV)
- Surgical removal of cancerous parts is sometimes necessary to save the rest of the body—a medical analogy
- Sin affects the entire body, not just specific parts
- Christ's death is a complete sacrifice to eliminate sin (Galatians 2:20)
