    Study Notes

    Neoplasia

    • Uncontrolled, chaotic growth of cells
    • Cancerous cells don't respond to normal growth control mechanisms
    • Neoplasm refers to new, abnormal growth
    • Cancer in children is rarer than injury or infection
    • A leading cause of death in children under 15
    • Overall 5-year survival rate for childhood cancer is 83%
    • 5-year survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia is 90%

    Cell Growth

    • Normal cell cycle has an interphase (resting) and mitosis (dividing) phase
    • Interphase has 4 stages: GO, GI, S, and G2
    • Cell lifespan varies based on tissue type
    • Cell cycle speed changes due to factors like hypoxia, genetics, immunity, physical agents, and chemical agents
    • Organs have cells in both resting and active states
    • Cells recognize their own type
