Pathology Concepts 1.04 Carcinogenesis – Tumour characteristics Dr. Hurnik BMS 100 Week 9 Video Link https://ccnm.ca.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Vie wer.aspx?id=fc6eb8be-641f-407a-9225afbb000bb85c Today’s Overview Pre-learning: Definitions & tumour characteristics Risk factors In class: Model of carcinogenesis Tumor progression Oncogenes Ras, Myc, Cdks & cyclins Tumour suppressor genes RB, p53, CKIs, APC APC/Beta-catenin review Hallmarks of cancer Warburg effect Limitless replicative potential Carcinogens Assignment - HPV Definitions Neoplasia = new growth § Aka Tumour § A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue, Uncoordinated & excessive growth Continues beyond cessation of growth stimuli § Tumours can be classified as malignant or benign Benign: remain localized at their site of origin Malignant: invade and destroy adjacent structures and spread to distant sites Tumour types - nomenclature “-oma” § often denotes a benign tumour Eg. Lipoma, osteochondroma, adenoma Some notable exceptions: lymphoma, melanoma, mesothelioma (all malignant) “Carcinoma” § Malignant tumour of epithelial cell origin “Sarcoma” § Malignant tumour of mesodermal/mesenchymal origin – ie muscle, cartilage, bone Tumour types – examples (FYI) Pathologic Basis of Disease(Robbins and Cotran) 10th ed. Table 7.1. Page 270 Tumour characteristics - Differentiation Differentiation § Extent to which neoplastic parenchymal cells resemble corresponding normal parenchymal cells both morphologically and functionally. Well differentiated = tumour cells resemble normal cells § Characteristic of benign tumours Poorly differentiated (aka anaplastic) = tumour cells do not resemble normal cells § Characteristic of malignant tumours Characteristics of Anaplasia Anaplasia (poorly differentiated ) § Pleomorphism – cells vary in size and shape May include presence of tumour giant cells § Abnormal nuclear morphology Nuclei containing abundant chromatic will stain darker than normal (aka hyperchromatic) Disproportionally large nuclei & nucleoli Presence of large numbers and abnormal mitoses § Eg. Tripolar or quadripolar § Loss of cell polarity Characteristics of Anaplasia – visuals Pathologic Basis of Disease(Robbins and Cotran) 10th ed. Figure 7.9.

Tumour characteristics In addition to anaplasia, malignant tumours will often show: § Ischemic necrosis – why do you think? § Areas of hemorrhage § Local invasion Benign tumours are frequently encapsulated and do not demonstrate local invasion Malignant tumours typically lack a capsule and do extend into adjacent normal tissue Tumour characteristics In addition to anaplasia, malignant tumours will often show: § Metastasis Migration to distant tissues via lymphatics or blood vessels Steps are FYI – for visualization only Pathologic Basis of Disease (Robbins and Cotran) 10th ed.
